First, as for the "only working the second time", that's not what I
see. Sometimes it works the second time, or the first, or the third,
or not until I leave frustrated and try the next day where it works the
first time. I haven't been able to detect any pattern yet. I have a
Lucent silver card and an Actiontec DSL modem/wireless router. I used
to use an Airport Express connected to the modem, but I had even more
problems with that.
