Old thread.This happened yesterday and I thought it was a fluke, but it happened again just now.I connect fine through my phone. 10 minutes later or so, it drops the connection. I try the release/renew, and get an error message. I try the troubleshooter, it starts to reset the wireless adapter, and the whole computer hangs. Mouse won't move, nothing. I pop out the battery and reboot. It boots normally and connects to the phone just fine.I have not connected to anything except my phone in 4 days, so it's not that, this time.Anybody have any ideas?

Sounds like a browser problemI have had FF , do that to me a couple of times on my win 8 , laptop

I think it's bigger than the browser. Have you tried an external (usb) adapter yet? It could be a lot of things that have nothing directly to do with the phone. It could be a corrupt file that's not accessed very often. It might be worth running a thorough diagnostics on your computer if you haven't done that yet. On Dells, the "F12" button at boot up will get you to that menu. Don't know about other brands.

Check for driver updates from the manufacturer. Dell had some bad wireless drivers that caused us a similar issue at work recently.

Nothing on their website, and no access to tech support as the computer is out of warranty.Things seem to be progressing, and not in a good way. The computer crashed a minute ago, as I was reading here. I'm downloading some windows updates, in case they help, but it seems unlikely.

Alrighty, now I've got a new problem with my network
