    Anyway, i have had alot of trouble with my wireless internet with this computer. I have tried all the things you can do in the networking and also the router and other things also have used the connectivity doctor on the laptop as well. Everytime i shut down and then go to use the computer on, i loose the wireless connection i have set up and it tells me there are no networks available. i know there are a few people on my street with them but i have a hard time getting connected. Does anyone know of any special setting or something in the computer that i might need to change?
    I already tried to shut of the firewalss and everything. its just getting very frusterating if anyone has any advice please help.

    thank you

    If you haven't done so yet you could cable it to the router (just temp) run the software that came with your router during the install you can set up your network and secure it if you like too. After the software is installed remove the cable restart and it should be okay. Hope this helps!

    i have the same laptop, the same thing happens. the wireless nic card disappears from time to time. the only thing i can do with it is restart the computer, a complete shutdown. :(
