Struggling with Wireless network.

I'm trying to get a PC with a Netgear WG311 to connect to another Desktop
(both using XP) which has a DG834G router. I've tried to create a network
using the wizard in XP, but with no luck. I've got a connection once, but for
a couple of seconds and with low signal (the PC's are only 4m apart though).

Any help would be appreciated!

I would try that but the thing is the connection is no longer there. There is
a metal water geyser in the vicinity of the 2 computers in question, is that
not affecting the signal?

Try different wireless channels, too.
