I keep losing my signal to my network. I can't be more than 20 feet from the router so distance is not an issue. The only way to reset it is to restart my PowerBook. Then it will only work for maybe 30 minutes to an hour. This is getting real frustrating. Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you checked the router? Are you using encryption? If so, wep? WPA? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Do you have any tool to check the network log files? Any internet firewall installed?
