I work for a large company that deploys Cisco Aironet 1200 access points running IOS versions 12.x (12.2 and .3 mostly) and using both internal Intel Centrino NICs and some external Cisco PC NICs. &nbsp;The issue is dropped connections. &nbsp;They drop for just a few seconds and then reconnect and reauthenticate. &nbsp;Some of the apps we are using are very senstive to dropped connections - which causes users to have to log out and back in. &nbsp;However, the drops do not occur with Cisco cards. &nbsp;I am suspecting this is a bug in XP and possibly the internal NIC since they seem to work better with external cards, hence the external antennas. &nbsp;Anyone seen this issue before, work with similar equipment or have any ideas whatsoever? &nbsp;I am stumped and this is becoming high profile. &nbsp;Thanks for all of your help.
