Hi,

the only connection problem I experienced with my Artem Card connectiong 
to a NetGear MR314 was that I had to set
RTS Threshold to 2347 and Fragment Threshold to 2346, as these were the 
max values  once provided with the Artem driver. Until then I never 
changed these values.

Before I did that, I had quite some problems with the connection, first 
working, them dropping. At that time I did not test/use DHCP, so I 
cannot say anythign about the error being possible related to that as well.

_If_ that is your problem as well, it may well be that the windows 
driver by default uses different values for the card as the OS/2 driver 
does. If then the windows values do not match well your access point, 
you have a significantly worse connection under win compared to OS/2 or eCS.

bye, Christian
