My laptop is running windows Xp professional (sp2). The distance between the laptop and my router is 15 feet. There is an elevation change between the two, but there is nothing blocking the view between them. When I connect it’s for about 10 minutes, but when I try to play a game it usually gives me a time out, or packet send error. I am using the routers firewall, but I am not sure how it’s configured. My laptop is using Intel® Pro/wireless 2200bg network connection.
