When I try to play CounterStrike over the Intel 2200BG wireless on my Inspiron 8600, it gives me this WSAEINTR error.  It is a Winsock error.  When this happens, it crashes.  I'm connunicating to another laptop which has a Lucent Technologies 802.11b pcmcia adapter.  The one thing that I notice is that when this happens, I see that the speed on the Inspiron suddenly goes from 11 to 1mbit even though the two laptops are right next to each other.  Then after a few seconds it goes to 2, then 5.5, then back to 11 mbit.  It's like something causes it to shift down to 1mbit for some reason and then the game gets this Winsock (WSAEINTR) error.

 

This is what I've tried to no avail:

 

Removed the QoS from the net stack

Dynamic IPs

Static IPs

Disabled WinXP SP2 Firewall

Tried to lock the speed at 11mbit

Reinstalled the OS with just the wireless driver and graphics driver installed

Tried installing the latest 2200 drivers direct from Intel's site

Tried installing the v.A06, v.9.0.0.60, 9.0.1.57 Intel 2200BG drivers from Dell's site

Tried NOT using the windows zero wireless config (Used the Intel applet to control the wireless)

Tried many things in CounterStrike which I won't list here

Tried going through a WAP or ad-hoc network althought I'll be using ad-hoc to play CS on

Tried changing all the various settings on the Advanced tab for the 2200BG.

 

Here is my config:

Windows XP SP2

Inspiron 8600C

Bios A11

Intel 2200BG Wireless

BlueTooth

Pentium M 1.8GHz

1.2GB RAM

60gb 7200 rpm HDD

ATI 9600 Pro Turbo 128MB

CounterStrike v1.6

 

Does anyone have any other ideas on what might be causing this problem?  This is driving me nuts.  I've spent the last two days trying to figure this out so I can play CounterStrike on the train with my train friends.  :-)  (This is why I'll be playing over an ad-hoc network)

 

At any rate, I would greatly appreciate any help I can get from anyone.
