In addtion to the above suggestions.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

For normal use on a regular peer to peer Network using Client OS (I.e. None Server Windows) The default setting is the best.

If you have basic connection for two hours, then there is nothing to look at the computer setting.

Either you have external noise that interrupt the communication, or and it is the usual Ad—Hoc behavior, Ad-Hoc connection are Quirky for long run use.

Most 802.11g Access Point can Repeat.

It is the MAC number that counts, the ATX power supply keeps the WOL circuit On even when the PC is Off.

If your Router has IP reservation reserve the IP that is associated with the PC's MAC number, or use static IP.

If the card is disabled it can not talk to a Router.

It might say disabled because it is Not configured correctly.

Did you try with WEP Off?

JackMDS

For WPA you are much better off getting 802.11g hardware.

However, just having WPA capable Hardware does not mean that you can Auto. log to the Network of your choice. If you do not have Admin rights, and thus cannot configure the security on the source side, you cannot Join any Secure Network ...

If it works this way while you are connected directly to the Modem.

It is their responsibility, insist that they will come and Fix it.

If this is the case you need to use your old Router as a Switch with an Access Point.

As said above check your local regulation first.

Runs in the wall have to be solid.

Plenum goes thought hot places (like near heating dockets).
