    I've got a dell inspiron 1520 with vista home premium on it. Everything was working fine, i was online and then it just disconnected itself from the wireless network at home. Its picking up the network and shows perfect signal strength.( I've got a linksys wrt52gs router). I'm not too used to vista yet. I didnt change any settings. I tried to manually connect to the network by putting the wep key in vista but no joy. Anyone had similar problem or have any suggestions?

    Thats happened to me on my Dell Vostro 1000. The signal just drops. I toggled the wifi on/off (Fn+F2 on the vostro, maybe the Inspiron) and that worked.

    Thing with mine is the signal stays perfect, it just wont connect. I'll try toggling it on/off and see if it helps. Cheers for the advice

    Yeah thats what I meant. I could still see the network in the 'network and sharing centre'. I just had to toggle the wifi before it would connect. Good Luck
