It helps. All I have is uncompromising plastic. It won't 'dent' and 'clang' the right way like a real good 1960's style schoolroom wastecan does when I punch & pound on it in sheer wireless networking frustration. :) Seriously though, I've been on my wireless connection for two days now with that lousy 802.1x network authentication turned off. Not one dropped wireless connection (IBM customer support notwithstanding)! I can't believe (what appears to be) the default network authentication setting caused me so much grief. I don't know how or why unchecking it works, but I'm really glad I met you wonderful guys on this here Internet! Orak
