[QUOTE="rippingviper, post: 916206, member: 101883"] Its funny that you ask that. I had my ibook at the time and my pc on wireless and most of the time it would only interfere with 1 or the other. Only during long phone call did I usually drop both connections. What I ended up doing was buying a 5ghz phone instead of a 2.4ghz phone and the problem was solved in my case. Now i've also had a problem where my router has gone bad as well and every few minutes I would drop connection due to the router self rebooting itself for no apparent reason. I've had that happen many times with D-Link routers. I gave up on them and bought an Apple Airport router that supports N protocol and its been going strong for 2 years now. Once in a while I need to reboot it when the cache gets a little full and it stops accepting wireless connections. Speaking of which. If you are having troubles try rebooting your router once in a while too :) This also applies to the OP. I have had lately where my fiancee was on the iBook and i'm on the MBP and i'm online but she can't open any web pages. She rebooted and still couldn't get a connection, So I rebooted the router and everything was hunky dorey! [/QUOTE]
