Wireless AP is set up with a WPA encryption. With Super G enabled, but dynamic so only works if devices can support 108.mb. In my case.. yes

I have been reading about setting up IP addresses. I am very newb to networking and don't understand properly about assigning network IPs.. and subnets....

Hi, so the Vista machine thats connected via cable has no such disconnection issues, just trying to check if there is another issue other than a wireless one.

You say your computer is on anther floor, is it directly above the AP, dont forget that the signal from the AP does not radiate directly above the antenna, but out to the sides, so signal level could be very low.

In general 2.4GHz cordless phones are a big no no when working around WiFi connections, have you tried powering the cordless phone off all together (this includes removing the handsets batteries and pulling the power on the base).

Is it possible that there are other WiFi services operting on the channel you are on. Turn your AP off and do a scan with your PC and see what other services showup, this may not be a exhaustive test as services without SSID will not showup.

Cyril
