What happens when you use a different computer at that location?

I've got an office laptop and V has her own laptop.  When we connect
(wirelessly) from her sewing room, I never have a problem, she occasionally
does.  (Resolved with http://www.freeantennas.com/ ).

On a more sardonic note - maybe you've using my ISP !  Rogers
does traffic shaping and drops connections when their software thinks they
see a torrent connection (in reality it's just a VPN connection being kept
open).  In fairness, they seem to have stopped but one never knows with
Rogers whether something has been done by accident or by design and, in any
event, you can be sure that the status quo is never the status quo for
long.
