I've got an Acer Aspire One running Linux. When I connect to my building's wifi, everything seems fine for a short period of time (I can google a few things or start downloading an Apt package), but then other devices on the network lose their IP addresses. Shortly after that, my computer also gets disconected. My computer is set to use DHCP.
What causes this, and do you know how it could be fixed? Am I causing a broadcast storm?

I do not have access to the router. – Ivy – 2012-07-16T19:16:05.673
@DKNUCKLES Thank you. I wasn't sure since I thought it equally likely that it was a router problem as that it was a problem with just my settings. I'm not sure if my laptop is the only machine that causes this problem. – Ivy – 2012-07-16T19:18:10.053
