Video links (Windows Media) kill my wireless connection

Whenever I click on a video link, especially with window media, I can no longer surf the web. My sys. tray shows that I am connected, but the little monitor icon does no light up at all. I think it stops sending data. So, to fix it, I have to unplug the adapter from the back of the router, and the plug it back in.

I am using an old Linksys wireless B router. Has anybody else experienced this problem? I tried using different browsers, but it did not help.

Usually the second time around, I can click the video link.

 

I should probably have mentioned that I am using a lap top pc.

 

Yeah, this seems to be a recent problem. I've had the wireless card for a while, but it could be my router too, or my modem.

 

Ok, it's either my wireless router, which has the newest firmware. Or it's was Avant Browser, which the firewall was blocking or attempting to block.

 

I have the same problem with Netscape. I don't why I got the warning about Avant being blocked only when I used my X-jack pc card. Maybe I should turn off the firewall.

 

Ok, I figured out the problem--and it was not easy. My laptop has a hard time switching from Cable (LAN) to wireless and back.

All I needed to do was uncheck "UDP" under Tools=>Options=>Network of my W. Media player.
