    my daughters laptop connects to the internet for about 2 minutes then loses connection to www though it is still connected to our wireless router. This is a 3 year old Dell Latitude running XP.

    It was ok till about a week ago. I can’t find a restore point to go back to. I’ve run full AVG and Spybot scans, and removed all TSRs that I can such as "4 on Demand", "BBC Iplayer" and "Spybot Teatimer" but still no joy.)

    I've uninstalled the wirless device and rebooted so that it re-installs, still no joy.

    Other pc/laptops in the house are all working fine, wirelessly on www.

    Help please.... :cry

    Could this be something to do with Zone Alarms free firewall, I seem to recall a problem with a recent release of Zone Alarms and XP ?
