There’s an article on Wired News this morning talking about problems with the way Windows XP handles WiFi connections — something that is especially topical for me, since I spent all day yesterday dropping connections (literally about 40-50 times throughout the day). While Microsoft is claiming there isn’t anything wrong with XP itself (besides the natural clutter that comes from hundreds of vendors with hundreds of driver), the same solution offered by Wi-Fi Networking News’s Glenn Fleishman — stopping and starting the Wireless Zero Configuration tool. I still have this little dialog bubble popping up and going away every four or five minutes (so fast I can barely see it), but at least it’s maintaining the connection. Still, I hate that all the trouble getting this connection stable is forcing me to accelerate my plans to run Ethernet to this single machine.
