    Lately, my sz220 has been having a wireless problem. After being powered on for about 30min it disconnects from the internet and says that the network adapter switch is turned off. If i restart the computer it works fine for about 30min then does the same thing.

    Ive had this problem before and sony tech had me do something quick that fixed the problem, but now the computer is out of warranty and they wont help.

    any ideas?

    TIA

    the problem is occuring more randomly, sometimes only a couple minutes after restarting the computer sometimes it takes an hour.

    i tried switching it on manually from the device manager, but it says it is still enabled there even though the toolbar brings up the message that the network adapter is turned off?
