Vista - Connection problems - help

Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. Is anyone else having this problem? I go along
fine for awhile, maybe a day or so and my connection works fine. Then out of
the blue, I'm not connected. When doing a repair I'm told there is a problem
and to reset the connection. I do a reset but this doesn't help either. I
have another computer connected to the router and on a 2 computer network
that works fine. I can't fix it at all unless I reboot. Everything is fine
after a restart. Anyone know what's happening? Thanks.

Hi,

Sounds like a problem with the netword card's driver file. You might check
with the manufacturer for an updated one.

Thanks, Rick for the reply. I have a USB wireless adapter that I changed to.
I'll see if this solves the problem. I can't find any different drivers for
my Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100 NIC. Windows says I have the latest drivers but
it is reporting a nVidia card and drivers. So if this works I may just keep
using the USB NIC until I find more current drivers.
