Restart the Connection

Solution Sometimes, the software and hardware for a notebook's Wi-Fi adapter don't always get along with Windows XP. The result: Wi-Fi connections suddenly drop, without apparent reason.

One workaround is to stop and restart the wireless network service using the Microsoft Management Console in Windows. Begin by going to Start, Control Panel, "Performance and Maintenance"; if you're in Category View, select Administrative Tools. Select Services. On the right side of the two-pane dialog box, scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration and click to select it. Click "Stop the service" and, after that's accomplished, click "Start the service."
