Okay guys, I get the hint!!! ;-) Just frustrated, that's all!

Basically, the problem is that my signal drops between my machines and
the router (Linksys WRT54G v.3). Signal drops and then it picks it
back up again after 5-90 seconds. After a series of these drops, the
ap is lost altogether. After an active scan, I may or may not find
the ap, and even if the ap is found and I connect "successfully", I'm
not able to find the name servers again.

I've gone through most everything that I've found, using the how-to's,
guides, and posts. I'm still testing a few things with the pci cards
-and- the wireless router. Since my original post, all I've done
since, I'm leaning toward router problems. I'll get back in a couple
of days.

Thanks,

Bernd
