Does ipconfig /all change then? In particular do you lose an adapter
or a default gateway?

It may help to elaborate on "repair etc.". However, rebooting is often
the simplest repair anyway.

Does that adapter have DHCP enabled?

Perhaps on a more relevant newsgroup? <eg>

Or your drivers... If that's what you meant by "something to do with some update"
try backing off recent updates or try updating from the manufacturer's site. Etc.
BTW XP uses the expression "roll back" when describing how to undo updates
to drivers. I guess that Vista will use the same terminology? FYI in XP there's an
unindexed help page about it, which I can reach from an indexed page called
Repair Overview. E.g. press Win-F1 and search for "roll back" (with quotes).

it says cannot repair a connection when it's emdia state is disconencted -
and the wireless asaptor and bluetooth say disconencted.
Will try the fix about broadcast flag and see if that resolves it. Strange
that all worked absolutely fine for the first 3 months
