    I'm the (usually) happy owner of a T61. Lately I've been experiencing a problem with my network connection.

    If I shut down my computer and turn it on later it won't connect automatically to my network and if I try to reconnect it says it can't connect. I then have to restart my router before I can connect.

    It also happens sometimes if my computer have been on standby.

    I'm using Windows 7 and the normal Windows network programs. Haven't installed Access Connection, but it also happened when I had AC installed.

    The problem occurs regulary basically on a daily basis.

    I haven't changed anything in my network setup and I've tried to reset and install my router again. I've also tried to reinstall the network drivers.

    Any solution to this problem???

    Are you on wireless or LAN?

    Try:

    - Reset winsock (elevate CMD, type netsh winsock reset)

    - Reset TCP/IP (elevate CMD, type ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew)

    - Flush DNS (elevate CMD, type ipconfig /flushdns)
