That's nice. WHAT KIND OF CARDS????? If they are Intel 2200BG
Mini-PCI cards, update to the latest driver from the Intel site and
see if fiddling the knob I pointed out in my previous posting helps.

Dell sells Intel cards and their own Dell brand cards, but the Intel
specs are (arguably) better, and the Intel drivers are updated much
more often.
