[gentoo-user] Wireless Channel

[JimD]

Does anyone know of a tool for Linux or Windows that will see what is the 
best channel to use?

I have a desktop (gentoo) and a laptop (XP) on my home network.  My wireless 
router is a D-Link DI-524.  The desktop is wired to a port and the laptop is 
wireless with an Intell Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG.

I have noticed connection issues when I SSH into my desktop from the laptop. 
I can connect and after anywhere from 30 seconds to about 3 minutes, the 
conneciton locks up and then is lost.  I thought it was an issue with ssh so 
I opened up telnet, however I get the same issue.  I use the desktop all the 
time and never notice any issues when I download from the net.

I am wondering if it is a wireless issue?  The strange thing is that I am 
using the laptop now and I cam getting about 4Mbs download fromthe net. 
However, as soon as I use cygwin or putty to ssh/telnet in to the desktop, 
the connection gets crappy.

I also noticed the connection issues if I try to use sambe from gentoo to 
XP.

Thanks,

Jim
