I had two meetings, morning and afternoon, at the Dunn Bros. on 3rd and could not effectively use the Internet connection at either. The card (Dell Latitude CSx 500 MHz PIII with Linksys 54g WPC54G) said it connected fine, although a little slowly, to the AP. It then took a while to connect to the Internet. When I pinged the router, many times I had 100% loss, other times between 25 and 75% loss, sometimes perfect. Same when I pinged the DNS server. I went to the machines provided on the second floor and they worked flawlessly, but my laptop would kind of halfheartedly load Web pages every once in a while. In the afternoon, I couldn't get any Internet connectivity, yet several other folks with laptops seemed to be doing fine. I tried putting the card in B mode from mixed, but that had no effect. All other networking settings appeared nominal. On the way home, I stopped off at a few open APs I know about and had no trouble at all connecting and downloading my email. Any ideas? Thanks.
