Wireless Networking

Hello, members and moderators! I purchased two Encore ENUWI-B-SICA 802.11B Pensize adaptors [link] for my two PCs with Windows XP_PE installed, and these little things perform very nicely and fast. The only thing that surprises me is that after a while, say about two or three hours of surfing the Web, suddenly the PC in turn stops working and Windows shows a blue screen stating that it has shut off the system in order to avoid further damages to it. Besides, the cause is reported to be a "bad page call" or something like that plus some parameters unknown to me. It also recommends that if it is the first time it happened, I should restart the machine; otherwise, I should check the hardware installed, etc., so I have to turn off and restart the machine in order to resume my navigations.. and there! it happens again. This phenomenom occurs exactly in both PCs which incidently have different motherboards, one is a Compaq 5WV233 and the other one is a PCCHIPS M810LMR, both in perfect operating conditions. Previous to this, I used to have two Wireless PCI cards of different makes installed in both of my PCs and which worked flawlessly for hours and hours on end without any problem whatsoever but I had to give them to my son, and now that I wanted to switch to these little gems, this problem has arisen. Does any one of the members of this forum have any idea about what sort of conflict is happening between this USB adaptor and my PCs and if there is any solution to that? I'd hate to throw them away! Thank you very much in advance for any comment/advice that you may want to add here. Ruben. -- rubme001 ...

Hi all! I would like to discuss following: recently registered a domainname that contains as a namepart th eword "wifi". Now im sitting here and thinking abount that i was maybe a mistake, to register such domainname, because the word "Wi-Fi" is a registered trademark of the "Wi-Fi Alliance"('[link]' ([link])). On the website of the "Wi-Fi Alliance"  i found that "The Wi-Fi Alliance is a global, non-profit industry association [...]". What does it mean now to me? Will they sue me ot let it, because i dont show off with their Logo/Trademark and because they are "non-profit"? (An affilation(15K/year for the membership) is beyond a question yet, my company is 2 days old :-) ) Services which i want to offer on this website will of course direct relations to the wireless technologies. Now i found some other( from the count of propably very many) websites, which also contains the "wifi" in their domainame, e.g Habe eineige(von bestimmt sehr sehr vielen) gefunden, die "wifi" in domain-namen auch haben, sind aber nicht in der "Wi-Fi Alliance" drin(habe in der Mitgliederliste nachgeschaut), wie z.B. [link][link][link] They are also not members of the "Wi-Fi Alliance" but seem to exist already several years... My question now: should i worry? Alex. -- zucker brought to you by [link] ...
