Router Connectivity Woes

[Aske]

i have a weird issue with mine sometimes

when the laptop goes into whatever winblows mode it does when you close the screen down for a couple of hours...  the wireless doesnt work when you come back on.   it gives the 'green bars', says you're connected, can list available networks, but doesn't actually send packets.   the router itself lists the mac address as still attached.   bizarre. reboot the machine, works perfect again.

[stroh]

What's a router?

the ones that work have really long cables.

Found one without cables.

A similar thing happens to my machine except that it's no longer connected to the network. The wireless adapter simply appears to be dead (i.e. no flashing light). Nothing fixes the problem except for a reboot, and often times Windows locks up during the shutdown process. It only recently started happening though.

I never had any problem with him.  Except I thought voyeuring  women at Olive Garden is lame.
