"Between the Hedges"
I have not had problems with my wireless connection until recently
Now, I have a hard time connecting and when I do, I drop quickly and frequently
I have not added any software or made any changes

I have to turn Airport off/on/off/on/etc.
Most of the time I have to reset the cable modem and the router too
For no reason, it will just start working... sometimes intermittently, other times flawlessly (for a while)

I am connecting to a Comcast cable modem through a Linksys router
Model WRT54GS Wireless-G 2.4 GHz 802.11g

The signal is good, and I am located very close to the router
My network diagnostics says I am functioning normally :rolleyes:

I have a MBP 2.4 GHz 4 GB RAM
Running Leopard 10.5.5 with all updates

I know there have been some MBP Airport issues reported
How are others addressing them?
I have heard of adding additional DNS Servers to the list, but I have no idea what to add or why

Any comments are appreciated, but keep in mind I am "network clueless", so I will need clear directions if you have a suggestion
