Keep losing Internet Explorer connection
I have a new Gateway MT3418 notebook with Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
This notebook has an internal wireless adapter. I have gone through all of the steps to get wireless connectivity to the internet via my home network cable modem and wireless router. All parameters are set up correctly, and I am able to connect either through an Ethernet cable, or wirelessly. Both methods work, but there is still a problem. After being online with the internet wirelessly for a while (using Internet Explorer as my browser), Internet Explorer will sometimes (but not always) issue an error message saying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". If I then check the wireless icon at the bottom right-hand edge of the screen, I am told that there is a wireless connection to my home network and the signal strength is excellent. My notebook is 4 feet from the modem and router. The only way I have found to get back online wirelessly is to reboot. Any suggestions? Thanks.
