    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and for the past month or so, when I am on the internet, if i move my computer in any way, (like off the table or off my lap) or sometimes if I press on it the wrong way, then I will lose internet. If i disconnect and try reconnecting it still will not work. It will only work again once I've restarted it. Any suggestions on how to fix this??

    Sounds like a funky wireless device. You might try getting a WiFi dongle for a USB port and see if you still have the same issues.
