Wireless connection keeps dropping

Now, the connection has been intermittent. In the network connection it
says media disconnected although the card is on. I have a Linksys WRT54G
router, and am running windows XP.

So it will connect all of a sudden, but in the activity area it the
packets sent ant received are very low (single digits).

I can't ping my router, or any website for that matter. I can connect
to the internet if i use a hardwired connection, but that defeats the
purpose of having a laptop with wireless capability. =)


I have checked the router, tried switching channels, upgraded the
firmware (linksys suggested I do this once before, but i never did as
the problem was not with the router but with the DSL connection itself).
I have disabled, and enabled the wireless adapter, tried the repair
connection option, to no avail.

The connection continues to come and go...

The laptop is near the router (not even 2 feet apart) and have been
working fine like this for months. I noticed the problem after my
computer came out of standby mode (usually this only happens if i
hibernate- and have since learned not to do that since it screws up the
pc- but it usually corrects itself). It's been like this for days.. It's
making me crazy..

PUHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE Help.
