I have an Acer Aspire 6930G and running windows 7 having upgraded from Vista. I never had any connection issues in the UK though only used WiFi at home.
So I have KT internet installed and have the Local Area Connection and every hour or so my laptop disables the connection, and wont let me enable it, and insists I reset the adaptor. How many times can I do that before I want smash something? Anyway if I restart my laptop it works again for a while before crashing.

So I have disabled the Windows Firewall, is there anything else I should do to avoid this happening? It is driving me loopy with all the restarting, do I need to update drivers or download a more reliable one??

Any help would be much appreciated.

Is the LAN adapter set to go into power saving mode after XXX minutes of inactivity? Might be crashing when it tries to recover? Take a look, and yes, new drivers won't hurt either! If you're on old ones currently that is.

Unfortunately it's not the adapter. It crashes whilst I am online, like in the middle of a skype conversation, downloading or even just surfing!! So maddening!!
May have to resort to putting in a Wifi router... never have any problems with that!!

should be cheap enough and then you get to be untethered?
