Every now and then, I get the bubble pop up in the system tray telling me that one or more wireless networks is avaiable. Of course that means that the one I had been connected to (Excellent or Very Good) has been disconnected.

It doesn't automatically reconnect to my preferred network.

I'm using data encryption (WEP) and a network key. My network is the only one listed in the list of Preferrered Networks when I look at properties on the connection.

I'm at a loss...anyone?

Got a 2.4GHz cordless phone in the house? Some brands are more problematic than others with 802.11b/g. I have a Panasonic, and set my router to channel 11. So far, no significant interference. Had a Siemens before, and more trouble.
