I got my new laptop in June or July and this was an immediate problem even though my two other XP machines have no trouble staying connected.

So I made some adjustments and updated my router software and it seemed to be fixed. Every time I turn on my laptop I have power cycle my router to get it to connect to the network. I run Network Magic software on all of my computers to control and protect my network. Can someone please tell me how to stop this before I throw my laptop against a wall?

Router is Linksys Adapter is Broadcom, don't know if it is integrated It will connect normally with the ethernet cable Yes it loses all internet connection No Says can't connect to wireless network Can't remember if I tried to ping I have updated the drivers and flashed the bios at the request of HP tech support AND changed the channel.

It is still dropping out after being connected for a period of time. Last night it went 90 minutes before dropping off and not being able to reconnect. I don't have another router at this time. I have 2 other laptops that connect wirelessly to this same router with no issues so it seems it must be Vista or the hardware in the laptop.
