I keep getting bumped off my wireless connection but I hit connect in the
"Wireless Connection Dialog Box that comes up when I left-click the wireless
network icon in the system tray, and I'm back on for 3-5 minutes. Any
suggestions???

Nevermind. I called the wireless router mnufacturer. They had me change
channels and the name I used for the SSID and that took care of the problem.
They also sugessted keeping the router at least 18 inches from the monitor
and from cordless phones.
