I am somehow randomly dropping my wireless connection once in a while, seemingly mainly after I come back to the computer after being away for a while. I come back and I am completely unconnected.
However, I can still see the network, but cannot connect. I hit connect and windows tries too, but is not able to do anything.
The authentication is all there, it is set to automatically connect (and does do that when I come back from sleep or restart the machine), and it is not the signal strength.
The only thing I'm able to do is go to sleep, and wake it up again. Then it does reconnect.
I can't think of what could be doing this. My roommate has the same computer and with leopard he is never disconnected when it happens to me. It is very very annoying when I'm downloading something.
edit: I wanted to add that I unchecked the box to allow 'the computer to turn off the wireless adapter when not in use'. I dont know if that would help anything.
