    What the *bleep* is going on with the Wireless on my SZ...!?

    OK, something odd is going on. Had my SZ3 or about a month now. Been working perfectly. Wireless working great. Everything. Perfect.

    Then, this morning, for no good reason, it just drops out and won't reconnect unless I reboot. Then it does it again. And again.

    The Pro Set Wireless icon in the taskbar just says it's 'Connecting' all the time, and when I force a connection by opening up the window, it says "the wireless adapter failed to get a valid IP address." What? Where is this coming from and what has caused it? I have made no hardware/software changes anywhere on anything.

    I'm stumped... :mad:

    I changed wireless drivers the other day, and all of a sudden mine is starting to drop offline. But, I only use the driver, I don't use the rest of intels software.
