Hi Guys,

I realise that once or twice a day my laptop drops its connection with my schools router. I have switched of IPV6 to reduce complications. For me to re-establish my internet connection, I have to pull out the network cable and reconnect it. Do you guys have any ideas why this might be happening? I've only had this laptop for less than 2 weeks (1 week to be exact) and I am worried that could the network card/processor be on its way out. Is this possible? Are there things I could try, I haven't had the time to try the Apple test disk; but I'll get onto it.
