Q&A: Laptop not connecting to my wireless, yet other laptops of the same and different models do?

Question by KIRSTY: Laptop not connecting to my wireless, yet other laptops of the same and different models do?
In my house we have 2 Fujitsu laptops, an ipod and a notebook, all of which connect to my wifi box fine, except one of the Fujitsu laptops. When this laptop connects to the wifi, it works for a short amount of time but then causes the other laptops to loose connection and then does this also. Any ideas on how i could resolve this problem?
