Do you know how to get into the event logs? It's the system event log I am interested.

Do you also know how to get ino device manager?

Can you tell us what the model number is (apologise if you have done this already)

Someone earlier suggested updating the wifi driver - which is a good call. The other option is deleting the wifi network adapter and then doing a rescan to recreate it.

OK, I have done a rescan of the wireless settings on the router and its connected fine even after a restart.
I did do this yesterday but I am not sure if I saved it after the rescan?
OH well see what tomorrow brings!

Thanks for all your help so far BB, very much appreciated.
I hope I don't have to ask you any more (in a nice way) oh well, we will see...

get a big hammer and show it to the laptop and say to it - this is what you will get if you don't behave... john cleese style...

you could try changing the channel number of the router - you could be getting interference from something like a cordless phone... but I suspect like mine it will be hammer time soon...
