    running a t400 with the 7057 build.

    sometimes my wireless network will show an error and say identifying where I will be still connected but it will be identifying my network, i can't browse websites or anything in this state

    then at times, i will be fully connected and the icon will say internet access but the browsers (tried with IE and firefox) will not load any pages, it will return with errors

    i have a feeling this is a problem with the 7057 build not my network because I run other laptops through it and see no kind of dropping whatsoever.

    I have the same issue with 7057. I have not tried a newer build yet and I do have 7068 but have not tried it yet. It should not happen in the newer build.

    Do remember that these are not officially supported builds and there is absolutely no guarantee that they will work at all. Anyone familiar with development would know that daily builds might sometime be broken. Also, if you just update from one pre-release build to the other (without a clean install) you might get some strange problems that works for someone else but not you.

    Read the following on pre-release builds and updating:

    If you haven’t tried already, try installing the latest Intel drivers for your wireless NIC.
