    have an Acer 5535-6389 laptop with Windows Vista. I am wirelessly connected to the internet via an SMC Networks SMC8014WN wireless gateway. Recently I started having problems viewing videos on YouTube. It seems that if it's a large video file and starts buffering part way through, my computer changes from Local & Internet connected to Limited or Local connection only (I can't access the internet). I have a desktop, and another laptop that don't have this problem at all. At first it was only doing this on large YouTube videos, but now it's doing it on pages that are taking a while to load. I've done a complete virus and spyware scan through Webroot, and it's all clear. Does anyone have any suggetions for me to try?
