Hi, I'm new here so if I’ve put this in the wrong place I apologise. I'll try to explain this as best I can however my computer knowledge isn't all that great.
I have a problem that I don't think makes any sense; The internal wireless card in my laptop stopped working a few months back and on discovering how hard it is to get anyone to look at, let alone fix, a dell laptop I decided to purchase a PCI Wireless card (Philips SNN6500 Wireless PCMCIA Adapter 11a/b/g), however since purchasing the card my laptop freezes while I use the wireless network in my house. (I don’t know if its important but it does this randomly, sometimes it will go several hours without freezing other times a few minutes) and so I thought It was probably an issue with the Wireless card, however when I went back to my parents house a few weeks back and used their wireless network my laptop did not freeze at all!?! And so I don’t understand… is there something wrong with the network in my house? 5 of us share it and I’m the only one who has any problems.
I hope you can help me; the random freezing is making it very difficult to do any work. (It’s frozen once just typing this)
