Seti@home & wireless network

For some time, I have been running Seti@home on a lan connected machine in the office. This is no longer possible and wanting to continue looking for little green men, I decided to try seti on my XP Home machine - at home.

The Machine is used as the gateway to the internet for 3 pc's (one of then itself) ,which are connected using a Belkin Wireless 11mbs network. The network itself is running in ad-hoc mode based on an f5d6050 adapter on the 'XP Home server' (for want of a better description), and a couple of f5d6020 PCMCIA cards in XP home and W2k laptops.

When I installed seti@home, the wireless LAN stopped working. When I deinstalled seti@home, the network started working so I am reasonably certain seti@home is the cause.

Has anyone else found this ?

(I am a bit concerned that I may miss that transmission from Alpha Centauri approach that I have been looking for all these years.)
