    Funny thing, I have been having similar problems with my internet service recently. I doubt that we all have the same router, isp and wireless cards so I wonder what's going on?

    First if you get that on all sites, try re booting the router, then your pc's. If it's only on 1 site they may be having a problem.

    Yeh rebooting router helps sometimes.... What I usually try is a tracert in DOS to the site in question, sometimes you just have some real bad pings between routers, but at least it lets you know if its you, or them

    first delete all of your temporary files.

    then go to My Network Places and select view network connections. Then select the network connection icon that appears on the right. Then click repair this connection, which is on the lower left.

    Classic case of an update that did not work.

    I just read recently that MS has 2 updates for Vista that address wireless problems. They have not pushed it down there normal auto-updater yet. Can be downloaded from MS sites.
