RE: Wireless Lags Every 60 seconds

This is caused by thy vista wireless service scanning for networks everty 60
secs. Generate a wireless service report and you will see it.

I do not know why this is such a surprise to everybody this was the same in
XP.
For Vista Belkin have not yet written their pown wireless manager. The XP
one scanned but after connecting you could switch it off and maintain the
Network.

This is typical of Microsoft to ignore a known issue which causes gamers
(the most common use of home computers) grief.

Until we get third party wireless managers for Vista or MS address this
issue the only way ahead is to revert back to hard wire or locate a wireless
switch next to your computer and connect via LAN.

Thanks for the progress Microsoft!!!!!
