I am having trouble with my wireless connection but only from home. The laptop connects immediately but seems to routinely loose the connection even though the signal strength is excellent. It appears as though the IP address gets lost regularly during a connection and constantly needs to be renewed. I have been connected wirelessly without any trouble at a coffee shop for the last couple of hours. I only get disconnected when I am at home. Is it possible that it is security related?Any help would be greatly appreciated.I checked the IP address confirguration and received the following message: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600](C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\Winuser>ipconfig Windows IP Configuration An internal error occurred: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help. Additional information: Unknown media status code.
