    Hey everyone, wonder if someone can help me out with this.

    I've been having issues with the 8510p where the computer will just boot me off my network. Happens every single day, no real pattern to it other than that. Gets really annoying, since the only remedy I have found was to restart the computer. Should note that this happens on both wired and wireless connections.

    Anyway, to answer the first and most obvious question, yes, I did reinstall the network drivers. Both of them. And to answer the second question, yes I reinstalled them again after that.

    Anybody in the same boat? Anybody have an idea of what I can do to fix this really annoying problem?

    Thanks!

    What kind of network--define getting booted off...sounds far more like a failing router then an issue with your laptop. Are other people getting booted off the network at the same time?

    Any and all networks. I eventually lose my connection no matter where I go. Wireless or wired. At home, at my student house at university, on my university campus. Nobody else has this problem, just my notebook. All my desktops have no issues with the routers.
