    I installed Vista Ultimate on my friends Fujitsu P7120 and have all the drivers installed off Fujitsu's website (they have a list of all their Vista compatible drivers so I'm assuming this notebook is Vista compatible). Everything installed fine and the notebook is running great.

    However, I'm having issues with the network devices (both wireless and wired). If I restart the computer, the internet works for maybe a minute before it stops working. Usually it gives me the yellow exclaimation mark (limited connectivity) and I can't access any websites. I run 'ipconfig' and everything appears to be in order (computer has an IP address). I tried installing the latest drivers for the wireless card off Intel's website but still the same issues. I have all of the Windows updates installed (one of which was for the Realtek network card) and still, same issue.

    I have a USB Ethernet adapter I installed and the internet works great with it. That's what I used to download all the Windows updates.

    Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Network devices are as follows:
    -Intel(R) PRO/WIreless 2915ABG Network Connection
    -Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
