So you're connecting to the server via NetBIOS over TCP (TCPBIOS)?
   

No.  Two separate protocols.  Netbios for file and print sharing and TCP/IP
for internet access.

 

I have two AP's one at each end of the house and I have full signal
strength.  About 30' going through one wall.  Works fine in Windoze.
     

Hmmm... Something must be saturating the bandwidth, though. While I
suppose that excessive ethernet collisions could cause a slowdown
(packet storming), the 802.11 spec provides for collision avoidance (as
opposed to wired ethernet, which utilizes only collision detection),
however, these should not cause the actual signal strength to drop.
Perhaps Jens may be able to shed some more light on this.
   

The signal strength from the AP's isn't dropping, my wireless bridge still
works fine.

 The signal strength indicator on WifiState drops to yellow and
the system locks up and/or becomes sluggish until I get WifiState closed and
then the system is responsive again.

 WifiState doesn't detect the card again
until I reboot.

 

I tried copying data to and from my server again today and it worked fine.
Then all of a sudden It started these symptom again this afternoon.  No idea
what caused it.
