The wireless link is never a problem at any other time. Under Windoze, I 
get four or five bars out of five from the status bar indicator thing.

The base station is about three metres away (with one brick wall with a

when I've been attempting this. 8)

The second host listed is the nfs client (note that that host isn't 
using a wireless card, it's using fixed ethernet).

Not really being familiar with the tech details of 802.11, is this an 
okay S/N ratio?
