Harry's post is good, but if you've noticed that the "time-to-die" is
consistent, and the wireless PC is using a PCMCIA or USB wireless

might want to poke around in the configuration utility and see if it's
there.

That's a thought. It is a PCI card, but it still may apply.
But I don't think it's the card, because other applications are still
using it OK. The email checks every few minutes and stays alive.
