Asus P5B WiFi woes

Hi,

I recently purchased the above board in the hope that I would using
it's built in Wifi capabilities with my notbook. The repeating problem
I am having is that after a few minutes (less than 10) the notebook
looses the IP address assigned by the Wireless ICS setup (I describle
this further below) and in order to kick start it I normally have to
open Asus WiFi Solo program and change to station mode and then back to

Access Point.

My setup consists of a :
1. Trendnet TW100-BRV205 vpn firewall router set up with DHCP enabled
although ip addresses are bound to MAC addresses thereby guaranteeing
that the computers always get the same IP address.
2. 3 plugged-in computers
3. A file server (Asus P5B computer) with Wifi running Windows Server
2003. DHCP is disabled on this server.

Hi,
Tried different channel? Like 6 or 11.

No, it was set to Auto. I changed it to 6 and will report back.
