We have a wireless adsl netgear router connected to two Dell pc's with
a laptop sometimes on the network. Each pc has a printer connected to
it and broadband access.
a laptop sometimes on the network. Each pc has a printer connected to

Our problem is that sometimes all our internet settings will be lost,
or communication will just not be there between the pc's, or one
particular printer will not work until we boot up the complete system
again. This seems to happen randomly and is very frustrating.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?

installed/activated..This makes my connection available to "piggy backers"
in my neighborhood and they are the ones that put the load on my DSL
connection making it almost like a dial-up service...Also sometimes freezin
the PC's

Like you Im also asking for advice..I have read time and time the literature
that came with my router and the card at the other end to no avail..Im not
sure if I have a firewall or if I need to purchase something else.
