Vista - internet disconnects

02-10-2009

hi , i have 2 identical laptops bought last christmas for my 2 sons they are
both connected via a linksys wireless router as is the xp desktop .However
one of the laptops drops the connection after about 20mins while the other
maintains its connection.I have gone to great pains to make sure all the
settings are the same in both laptops but i still have the same
problem.Should i be looking for a fault in the network adapter? anyone got
any ideas
probably should mention the laptop in question was sent back after a week
because the power supply jack was faulty

posting the results of ipconfig /all on both computer may help.
