I have two six months old laptop computers both with the internal wireless 802.11b/g option. One is a DELL INSPIRON 6000 and the other a HP PAVILION ZV6000. In using them at various sites and locations I've noticed the DELL Wireless is much more sensitive than the HP. It can find and use sites the HP doesn't see or seem to determine exist from the exact same location. I took the HP back for repair and I was told it was working correctly and no trouble was found. It does seem to work fine if the signal is very strong within the same room or only a few feet distance. Has anyone experienced poor sensitivity from the wireless card used in the HP Pavilion series? Thanks Regards, Bob
