wireless connection keeps dropping
hi, i got a new laptop with windows 7 and am connecting it to the internet wirelessly through my bebox. i connect my desktop pc the bebox wired ethernet - no problems.
the laptop keeps dropping connection all the time.
i think the problem is - when the connection drops,down at the bottom right hand corner, the internet icon (signal strength bars) gets a yellow exclamation mark over it and it says no internet access to bebox.
there are 2 other connections in the pop up box - sky and netgear.
i think these are neighbours' wireless boxes being picked up wirelessly. they both have poor connection (one bar) however, the sky connection has 'connect automatically' ticked and when i untick it and go back to it - its ticked again. i cant get the tick away.
i think the laptop keeps trying to connect to this sky connection wen i click on a new webpage.
i cant find the actual connection to go into properties etc like in XP. i can only access it in the pop up box down at the bottom right of the desktop.
does anyone know how to fix this, or how can i delete they sky and netgear connections from the laptop? (and stop them coming back)
any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
