Can anyone help. I've had this problem for months. I've
got a Belkin wireless network which works wonderfully - I
know it's find and that the ADSL signal is fine because on
my second PC elsehwere in the house, I can go straight
onto the Net, no problems. However, when I try to get
onto the net on my laptop invariably it says server cannot
be found. This happens sometimes if I just go into
Outlook (XP) or sometimes if I go into Explorer - but not
EVERY time! I then have to re-boot, usually a couple of
times and try again and it will then connect. Has anyone
any idea what this is and how I can solve it - it's
driving me mad! Many, many thanks. Sally
