Ok im at al loss here. my internet works fine EXCEPT for one thing. my laptop doesn't recognise the fact that it has connected to My router.

i can run the internet perfectly fine but it keeps searching for a device to connect to and when this happens i GET disconnected, because of this i can only run the internet in 2-5min bursts.

This problem occurred out of the blue i have not changed any of the settings and it has worked fine for 5/6 months now. it happened when i my computer to stand by and it turned itself off. If i try to let windows manage my wireless it wont connect at all, or SAYS its connected to an unsecured network of the same name but i cant access the internet, even though my network is secure. and i am accessing my router as i can tell from the router light blips are in time with me doing things.

i have tried a restart, virus scan both have had no effect. i use norton for my scanner, and am running windows XP pro Sp3. i use INTEL proset wireless to connect manage my wireless connections.

Any help appreciatedCan you connect via Ethernet CABLE?

Has this always happened?
