Hi mark, I think it must be a problem with my router settings rather than the chipset. The reason i say that is because a friend popped round the other day with his Acer aspire ZG8 netbook, and although he was able to establish a connection, he wasn't able to send or recieve any data until the router was - like before - switched off and on again. I'll look into it, anyway.
