| | I had a dropped connection about an hour and a half after my post, like usual. I left the computer on the rest of the night, but it was still connected when I got up in the morning. The real test will come on Monday, when I'm using the Internet with WoW and Ventrilo. |

| | crap well the new intel drivers have fixed the greenbar problem but i still get drops although they are much rarer. p.s. I have had less drops using intels driver only rather then the intel driver+software thing. |

| | Since that initial drop from the last post I made here, no drops. The problem appears to be dealt with for now. Monday night was a success without any annoying network problems. Thanks to the other posters here for helping me out with this by posting in this thread!!!! |

| | Hi, I have the same problem here. Here is a quick summary: Router setup WEP
SSID hidden
Netgear router (I also had the problem on a Zyxel, so I don't think the router is the problem)
MTU size 1458 Problem laptop New Sony Vaio loaded with Vista Business using built-in Intel wireless (3945ABG)
- connection drops after a few hours and needs a reboot - signal strength never goes above 3 bars Good laptop Old Dell Inspiron with XP SP2 using 802.11b ancient PCMCIA wireless card
- connection never, ever drops! So on the Sony, I've disabled the Teredo pseudo device, disallowed the computer turning off the Intel adapter and set power management to max. I also just installed the latest Intel driver (just the driver only): http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2259&OSFullName=Windows+Vista*+Business%2C+64-bit+version&lang=eng&strOSs=160&submit=Go%21 This has instantly fixed the signal strength problem. I get 4-5 bars at 30 feet away through two brick walls. Before I would only get 3 bars, even right next to the router. I've started seeing a lot of these posts come up on google, so I think the problem may be fairly widespread. I'll report back on whether the driver + disable Teredo has fixed it. I will also try the PCMCIA in the Vaio to see if that helps (if the above doesn't work). |

| | Just to confirm that this is fixed now. It would normally have dropped by now. Also, it was previously not reconnecting after resuming standby. It does now. All good then  |

| | I am still having issues with the wireless in Vista Ultimate. I have tried everything. This is my setup Router - Linksys WRT54G Wireless Card - Intel 2915ABG What happens is that the connection drops from the internet but I can still connect locally to my shared files or printers. I have all the latest drivers from Intel and Dell. Is there any kind of fix anyone has heard. Can you please help me out. I really appreciate it Thanks |

| | I don't know if this is the same problem or not. I have two laptops being used within 10 feet of one another. One of them has no problem using our wireless connection. It is running XP. My laptop, running VISTA won't connect via the wireless. Toshiba has no one who knows anything about working with VISTA, and so has no suggestion as to how to fix this problem. does anyone have any suggestions?
Steve,

| Hello,
I am having the same problem - but I have a stationary HP Pavillion. It drops out occasionally with no specific actions are taken! it really drives me mad. Since I have a stationary - power opptions setup can not be the reason.
I have two laptops (XP) - no problems whatsoever... |
