Hi i have recently came back from a long trip to find my PC behaving rather odd when it comes to my network and sharing center. Everything is fine during the first 10mins of my fresh boot, I can get onto my network with no problem, surf the web,view other networks in my area, and all that mumbo jumbo. But after that 10mins(estimate always random) my wi-fi can't detect anything. What's even stranger is that I'm still connected to the internet until I am disconnected when I put my computer to sleep, or get randomly get disconnected(which happens when someone in the house is doing something big with the bandwidth or when my ISP decides to be lame). I'm not into the whole networking deal so my guess is to reinstall my networkcards driver.
things to note
-I have an HP desktop model number a6720f that has a wireless antenna.
-I'm running WLAN optimizer to turn off the backround scan for my gaming
-ran the CMD tip and well...it says im disconnected from the internet
-ran a ping to my router says im connected

My own network if I ever get disconnected or have to restart my router. Rebooting every time my network decides to spazz out is really inconvenient
also running SP2

Hmm I actually did that yesterday when EA tech support tried to help me playing one of their games. But ill do it again.

Oh thank you very much. I see my network and all the other networks.

Just my computer strangely. It's the only one where I had to go through some troubleshooting with. Even my laptop that I use for school doesnt have issues when it comes to anything network related.

Yes, I use a household network that I share files with and have security,password, and all that.

I only used the term other networks to describe my situation. Right now I can view other networks in my neighborhood and mine which I connect to.(with your help)

My problem was I didn't see my network or any other networks around me.(i don't connect to those other networks i was just using them as a reference).
