    Hey guys...been a while.

    Anyways I've been having wireless problem for the past week or so ... every time I connect to the internet using my wireless, the wireless seems to loose its connection and says that my wireless is turned off. So I have to turn the wireless button off and then turn it back on manually.

    Neither my parents nor my brother are having this problem. My laptop Fujistu Lifebook only works when I'm connected through LAN.

    Went up to the Fujitsu's Driver Download page and didn't find any driver updates...anyone know what the problem might be?

    Oh and as for the connector I'm using Intel PROSet/Wireless...

    May be an issue with your computer if no-one else is having the trouble. What is your signal strength like where you use it?

    This indicated only two things to me :
    1. Driver Update needed
    2. H/W Problem

    As you are saying,no one else is having problems,the connection is fine
    Just make a H/W- Driver Check,thts the problem i see here

    Right now I'm doing roll back driver from the device manager, seeing what that does to the driver itself...

    As far as I know I can't really find any of the updated version of the drivers online on the fujitsu website.

    That is all I can say as of now...

    Alright I rolled back the drivers last night but as of now the problem is still happening.

    From what I know it is my laptop that is causing the problem, because everyone else in the house, even my friends when they came over last night were able to connect wireless without any problems.

    I'll probably give Fujitsu a call later today to find out the cause..

    Waranty went away a year ago.

    As of December 17 it has been 2 years :P

    Anyways I went to intel's website, found the driver update for my driver and the problem hasn't happened since then. The driver I was using was updated last in December of 2005, the lastest driver was for 10/1 or 9/30 of this year, so updated it. HOPEFULLY it won't come back. ;)

    Thanks though
