Your computer caught an STD. You should of bagged it with an antivirus first.

Bubbles ... stop drinking! :roll:


At other times I may agree with you :wink:

Tonight, however, I cannot - water only - and I have spent more time trying to rectify the problem than any other night! :evil:


Bubbles .. you are meant to drink the water not pour it over your laptop :roll:

It's those delirious tremens from all that wine drinking; shaky hands :shock:

1. PC or Mac?

2. Error messages? Or does it just freeze? Or even reboot randomly?

3. New software recently installed?

4. Added RAM recently?

5. Does it happen running both on battery and with power adaptor?

Do you get any error messages on the screen or does it just freeze?

Is it just when you use the internet or when you're doing other things too?

Did you download any new software or go on any websites with loads of pop-up windows?



PC
No error message, just lose connection
Internet only
No to downloads/websites


(Having typed all that, it appears just to be my server, yes? :? )

Wireless LAN, right? Sounds like your WLAN router is acting up. Dig up a regular TP cable and connect the laptop straight to the router and see if it works better. If it does it's the WLAN function acting up (check the antenna, make sure you put the router on a strategic location to achieve the best connectivity).

If this doesn't help at all it's possibly the router itself. To narrow things down and isolate the problem use the TP cable and bypass the router (if it's possible) so you connect straight into the wall or cable modem or whatever you have on your end. If that works you will most likely need a new router. Netgear 54 Mbps WLAN routers are affordable and does the job well.
