    I just finished up having an MG expert clean a load of Malware off of my desktop computer and everything is running well.

    Since this whole thing started I cannot connect to my router's (Linksys WRT54GS) wireless signal with my Dall Latitude D600 laptop (Windows XP).

    The laptop is set up to obtain the IP address automatically. After looking around on the web, I put a static IP in and was able to connect. However, the connection drops in less than 30 seconds.

    Anyone have any tips/clues?

    Thanks!

    Upgraded the firmware and re-keyed in the WPA key into both the desktop and wireless. There were many steps that didn't work before that. ;)
