Whne trying to run quick time ver 7.2 to watch a video stream my wireless
router just disconnects. I am using the router to connect a desktop (win XP
Home) and a laptop (Win XP Pro.) both to each other and to the net. As soon
as I try to use quick time the router just disconnects I then lose all
connections between machines and the net. On topof this I need to reboot the
router to get it to connect again, using the windows repair module has no
effect unless the router is switched off and then on again. Is it possible
there is a port conflict of some sort?

Any particular maker and model wireless router?
Also, the harware version (from the serial number tag) and the
firmware version from the web based status page?

Does it disconnect *ONLY* when you rung Quicktime, or does it also
have problems with other types of streaming media?

What type and speed of broadband connection? Satellite, cable, DSL,
etc?
