    Sometimes after wakening my laptop from standby/hibernation my wireless connection to my router doesn't work though i still get that bubble that comes up saying that my wireless connection is connected i still cannot get the internet to work and is only resolved by restarting the pc?

    Anyone have any solutions as i dont want to hve to shut down all the time.

    Thanks.

    Have you tried reinstalling the wireless drive?

    I would actually go with Overclocker's advice. Check to see if there is an updated wireless driver for your card. Don't just run Windows Update...actually go to Intel's website (or Broadcomm's) and look for the driver.

    Otherwise, run Windows update to see if that fixes any issues. Also, do a virus/spyware scan to check for infections.
