wirless Lan question

Hi,

I'm also pretty new to wireless LAN but I've been working on this wireless Lan setup at this office I work at and it has worked pretty well for one annoying problem that I thought one of you guys might have some insight with. =) (hopefully) Well, what I have is a netgear LAN setup (MR314 is the wireless DSL/Cable router) and wireless USB adapters (MA101) hooked up to 4 WINDOWS XP PRO computers so far. Three work fine and never gets dropped but the last one is having this connection problem.

On a regular basis, the connection would be on for 1 minute then disconnect (says "network bridge is disconnected") for about 5 seconds and reconnect. We can never get a stream of download info more than 1 minute. I'm not sure why this is happening since the other computers are fine and never drops connection like this. My friend tells me that it could be that there are other wave signals that might interfere with the wireless lan signal but I can't think of what could be making this signal if it is there. The adapter is placed next to a computer speaker. Could that be it? THere is also a TV and radio in the room. What about those? This has frustrated me because I can't figure it out. Thats why i'm hoping someone would have seen this before and can offer me some wonderful insight. THANKS SO SO SO MUCH!

Assuming that Drivers and Network settings are check to be adequate.

Disable Software Firewall and WEP on both ends.

1. Put (Temporarily) a USB Wireless Module from a computer that works on the "faulty" computer. That will rule out bad USB Wireless Module.

2. Temporarily, put the stubborn computer in a different location closer to the source.

That will rule out range, and location trouble.
