ok.
once again - I don't think a broken ballast has its own SSID but thanks.
I went and put NetStumbler on my laptop and ran it at and around our office (drove around in my car). The pcmcia card was a Batsonic CB80211G. I don't think it has as good a reception as my N800 since it only picked up the 3blindmice about 200 yrds north of our building.
I attached a screenshot.
So, I don't know how to interpret the findings. The help in NetStumpler does not have anything written in it. 3blindmice shows up as a Peer not an AP - so what does that mean?
Also in the tree view under SSID/3blindmice there are two pc's. But the other MAC address is shown in the right panel as having SSID YellowLady . Hm?
Well, we thought one really big business might have that strong WiFi. But it turned out they don't.
Also, I could not pick up our own signal standing just two feet away from the router. I switched it off and back on - no change. I do not have the password to login in the router for possible configs. Gotta call the network guy again.
I do get the feeling the router has a problem though. We should just try a brand new one with our old settings and see.
Thanks for all your help.
If I ever find out what the deal is I will post it here.

Am I the only one that cannot read half of this thread, now?
When an "over-sized" image is attached, the text flows out past the right
edge of the (center) frame, and there's no scrollbar to allow me to see it.
I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.12 on FC8 2.6.23.15 on this machine, but it also
happens on other browsers, as well.

I just thought of one really weird problem read about a few years ago...someone had some flaky wifi issues in their office and it turned out to be a bad ballast in the fluorescent light near the router...they only figured it out because one day someone was in the office to do some work and suddenly there was a wifi connection. I can't personally vouch for that being accurate but stranger stuff happens anymore.
