    Hi folks,

    I've this strange event to share. I'm on wireless network at my workplace, and whenever I visit one specific website, the moment I enter the website address and press 'Enter', it'll disconnect the wireless network..

    It doesn't happen at my home wireless network though. Only at my workplace, and ONLY that specific address.

    What could be the reason? So far the techies at my workplace has no solution (or they might not be aware).

    I'm using Vista Business with IE7.

    Cheers!

    I don't think so. It just happens to my laptop only. Even after I reinstall vista business, it still happens.

    Let's narrow down the possibilities a bit. Try accessing the site using Firefox or Opera. If you get disconnected again, try pinging hardwarezone.com and see what happens.
