[PB] Wireless Interference

[Peter Krug]

Thanks to everyone that posted suggestions.  Mike Amato's question  
about wireless phones reminded me about the baby monitor.  I did a  
pretty exhaustive set of experiments with the baby monitor's channels  
and the base station's channels and found that no matter where we  
were in the house and no matter what the channel settings, if the  
baby monitor and my wife's powerbook were in the same room, no  
connection for her, but my Rev. A LunchTray was fine.  Chalk it up to  
those extra 2 inches of aluminum absorbing the interference?   
Interestingly, if we are in the path of the baby monitor but right  
next to the base station, I have fine connection when both powerbooks  
are up, but she does not connect.  If I close my Powerbook, she  
magically becomes able to join the network.  I wonder if my Bluetooth  
is interfering, too.  Hmmmmmm.....

Thanks,

Peter
