More info?)
Hmmm..I wonder what type of phone your neighbor has.
I have a 2.4G phone system also and I get no interference w/ my laptop
and pda streaming data and music. I have the following wireless settings:
beacon int: 100ms
rts thres: 2346
frag: 2346
dtim int: 1
short preamble, no broadcast, auto cts mode, superg w/o turbo 802.11g
only mode off.
I use dhcp and static address w/ mac filtering, but that may not affect
your situation.
Good luck-I hope you get it resolved; this networking stuff is fun when
you get it to work;-)
