Wireless network stalling

Alright, i just got a new laptop about 2 weeks ago, and i have my desktop machine set up as a wireless ap for the laptop. Worked fine for about a week, but now every 15 or so minutes the wireless connection stalls. The laptop keeps sending packets but nothing is ever returned. The signal strength stays at "Excellent" and the connection to the router doesnt dissapear, but I cant ping anything on the network or internet. The only way to fix this is to "repair" the connection or disable and enable it again. Then it will work for awhile till it stalls again. This is getting really REALLY annoying and any help would be great.
 
Perhaps clarifying to start off with. Linux does have some software that will emulate an AP however if this is in windows then workstation don't function as Access Points. In windows your either running in Ad Hoc mode (peer to peer) or infrastructure (AP--client) Unless there is new emulator software for windows. Please update me if so, I'd like to play with it.

You then use terminology like ""Excellent" and the connection to the router" which is a bit confusing. Perhaps your running ICS or other proxy/nat software? and you mean the client has a good connection to the host machine, the ICS machine?

One thing you can do in the meantime is make sure you have the latest drivers for your card and OS. What OS are you running anyway? XP? If your card came with a software utility of it's own you could try that as well. If you are running XP have you put SP2 on it? If not then you definitely should.
 
Alright...

I have an Asus Wlan card in the desktop, it came with SoftAP software that lets the PC act as an access point, no big deal there really....

By "signal strength excellent" i mean just that, the wireless signal strength is "excellent" i dont know how to be more succint then that.
 
Yes, excellent is a word I am familiar with. It was your use of router that didn't make much sense. Good luck.
