WiFi Ap keeps dropping ADSL connection

Hi there, I am very new to this subject, only purchased a wireless network
setup on the weekend, seems to work OK but the internet connection keeps
dropping out.
Excel WLB-2000 access point
Excel WLB-1201 PCI cards in 2 machines (one connected to AP WINXP)
Excel WLB-1100 PCMCIA card in compaq laptop
All other machines and laptop running WIN98SE
Also the machine connected to the Ap and ADSl seems to always lose the
connection to the AP after reboot or shutdown

I have them ALL set to channel 7, is this incorrect, all PC,s and laptop can
share internet connection but it keeps dropping out every 2 - 3 minutes
ADSL Alcatel modem is connected to the AP, apart from the internet problem
all other network stuff seems to be OK. I can see and transfer files to and
from all PC,s and laptop.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Tony..

UNcheck the "enable 8333.11 authentication" in windows

Hi there, thanks for the reply, and hoping not to sound too thick but how
and where do I find the check box for this 8333.11 authentication in
windows, is it in the configs for the wifi or in windows itself
Cheers
