My connection seems to drop regularly and it goes from Local and internet to local only and i have to wait a minute or two for it to reconnect. Normally happens when the lappy has to do a bit like open a picture, gif or a youtube link etc.

Fairly new lappy, been fine till about a week ago, any ideas??

I don't know what the problem is but you shouldn't have to sit there waiting for it to reconnect. if, as soon as it happens you disconnect from the network and immediately reconnect you should find you have full access again straight away

No need to turn on and off as i said it reconnects fairly quickly (quicker than restarting anyway) the arrow just has that wee circle revolving as if it is working at something but it just seems to freeze and lose connection. So i need to generally shut down ipoker and wait a bit to refresh the page i am on.

start - control panel - admin tools - event viewer

have a look thru the system log and see for any errors (red cross) relating to network manager or tcp/ip at around the time that you experience the problem.

and tell us what it says

buy a new router....

seriously, what is happening is that when you make a request to connect to your router, it negotiates an ip address so that the router can id your computer on the network (in this case 192.168.0.3). this is done by the DHCP server. it is done on a lease basis (in your router settings). basically the router is 'evicting' your laptop, by taking back its ip address.

quite why this is happening, is anyones guess. if you havent changed any of the dhcp settings on your router then it is unlikely to be a problem there, more likely a firmware or hardware fault with the router.

you could try getting round it by assigning a static ip address to your laptops wireless network card, thereby bypassing the dhcp server. (dont have a cut and paste for vista to explain how to do this, and cant be arsed typing it all in Smiley ) so you will need to google it.

cheers Laz was going to buy a new router anyway as don't think the ones we give away can be that good. Think i should be able to assign a static ip address if i need to give that a go.
