I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's a password problem, especially as Timothy didn't say it was. A marginal Wifi signal can cause connections to drop. I recently has a similar situation and fixed it (touch wood) by fiddling with the signal settings in the router, e.g. changing the channel to avoid interference with a cordless phone, using 802.11g instead of 802.11n etc. There's a lot of black magic associated with Wifi. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
