Even with the PCI locked to 33.33, I experience problems when increasing the FSB past a 244. At 245 the wLAN recognizes networks, yet fails to connect to them. What might I do to alleviate this problem?

Running P4 520 (2.8) at 3.42Ghz on Abit AA8Duramax w/ 512MB PC2-5400 at 4-4-4-10 timing

PCI card is Linksys Wireless G PCI adaptor

Thanks!

I've seen some reviewers say that the PCI locks on the motherboards using the latest intel chipsets may not be wroking as well as the PCI locks on the 865/875 chipset boards. You may just be out of luck. One thing to try is see if there are newer drivers for the LAN chip.

Here's a round up with a bunch of boards that show you typical FSB OCs:

No, I didn't think to try a different PCI slot. That's a good idea. Maybe it's just a fluke with the one its in. Thanks!
