Hi there
I'm currently using wireless broadband but for some reason every minute the internet stops working, I will get page not found, so I have to wait another minute before refreshing the page. Three others are using the same wireless router and are experiencing no problems so the problem definitely lies with my laptop. Can anyone OFFER any advice or help?
Much appreciated
UmairTurn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 30 seconds.
Power them back on.
Restart computer.

If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK.

In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit ENTER after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Restart computer.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK.

At Command Prompt, type in:
netsh int ip RESET reset.log
Hit Enter.
Type in:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Hit Enter.

Restart computer.


If that doesn't work...

Restart computer, and check again.hi, thanks for the help..it worked perfectly up to now but for some reason the problems back and ive tried all the methods listed there and its not seem to be helping, any ideas?

thanks
umairWhich step was of particular help?the FIRST list of commands worked when i did it first time, then today i did all the measures you mentioned and its still not helping, the internet intermittently doesnt work...What happens, if you hardwire your laptop to the router/modem?if i hardwire the internet works fine..Start with reinstalling wireless adapter driver.how do i do that? im not sure the wireless router came with a cd...sorry for being so useless!Sorry to jump in but can I ask, are your house-mates machines closer to the router than yours? Sounds like to me that your just getting a bad signal.Is it built-in wireless adapter, or plug-in card?
What's your computer brand, and model?when i connect the laptop DIRECTLY to the wireless router it does work better but also does struggle to find a connection sometimes.

my computer is sony vaio model PCG 6E1M, the wireless is built in. i dont know why these problems are choosing to start now!Look at the sticker, and see what it says about the model:
