Hi

Up until last week I had an iBook and my wife had a 17" Powerbook G4 and we both connected problem free to the web via Wifi (Linksys router and NTL Broadband UK) I have just taked delivery of a second 17" Powerbook G4 and it's now my problems have begun. If we both try and use the web via the Wifi the connections keep dropping out every few minutes until one of us stops trying to surf and puts one of the Powerbooks to sleep - all is then well no more dropped connection. It's driving us mad as we can't seem to both surf at the same time.

Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong?

System Prefs are set to join automatically by default on both machines and we only have the one network in the house. I've tried renewing the DHCP lease on both machines but we still have the problem. Trying the iBook again and everything is fine.....

Any help most welcome

cheers
