Hello, I have recently been given a brand new Dell Latitude E5400 laptop from work running Vista Business to replace my old Lenovo which was running Vista Basic. Since receiving my new laptop I am having continous problems with its wifi connection. The first of these being; If I awake the laptop from sleep it either cannot reconnect to the internet (local connection only) and I have to manually disconnect and reconnect to the network to be able to access webpages. Occasionally it reconnects after sleep and says it has both local and internet access, however when I open my browser and try to access a website it tries to access the webpage and after a short while states that it cannot display the webpage. I then have to constantly manually disconnect and reconnect to my network to try and reset the wifi connection. Sometimes this rectifies the problem, sometimes it doesn't and sometime it rectifies the problem for around 30 seconds or so before I get the message saying it cannot display the webpage again. Secondly, when I do get a connection for a sustained period of time after rebooting or something, it again appears to lose internet connection randomly and displays the 'cannot display the webpage' message, even though the network icon in the system tray says I have both local and internet access! I have tried right clicking on the network icon in the system tray and running 'diagnose and repair' but it just states that windows could not find any problems with my internet connection. I never had problems like this with my previous laptop. I also have a desktop PC running Windows XP and an xbox which are both connected wirelessly to the network and have no problems with sustaining an internet connection. It is a really frustrating situation so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Are you using a special manufacturers driver for your wireless card? If so, you might try to switch to the Windows Wireless Management Tools, to manage the WiFi connection. On some notebooks that helps. Please send a reply, if you solved the problem !!!

Hi, no, I am using windows to manage my wireless network/wireless card

Ok, so have you already tried the manufacturers management tool? And did it end up in the same result? Please send a reply, if you solved the problem !!!
