I've got another problem. I cannot fathom what's going here so if
anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful.

We have a wireless router. Up until now it's been working fine.
Still seems to be in that I can connect no problem with my pooter, but
when Mr Lisa tries to connect a connection is made for a few seconds,
then it's dropped. When he tries to make a connection our router
isn't even detected though all of our neighbours routers are in the
list of detected networks! !!! WTF!

He's using a PCMCIA wifi card (mine came with an internal one) if that
makes any difference.

Does anybody have any ideas why the router should be detected when he
first boots up then is dropped quickly and not even detected? I'm at
a loss.
