ive turned the power mngmnt off for the wireless adapter settings so it wont shut down or anything to save battery. and i still lose net randomly. anyone know good solutions to this? ive googled around and no avail. its so stressful to lose net like that. its definitely not my router since other computers connect to it fine. is there something in vista i should do or what?

I would be more inclined to blame your wireless LAN card rather than Vista

How about your router?

Also, just because the laptop is new, doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be functional, that's how refurbs come to being.

Lol why the hell you blaming vista. So many thing are more likly to cause that. Anyways is this just at home or everywhere you use your wireless. Imo 5 secs then reconnection could be a router the clear timeing on the catche for the router do you notice like is this every 15 20 30 mins intervuls? Also always on wireless routers only last about a year and a half before the cause problems usually.
I have ass for brains so,

stop defending vista and shit, seriously. im not blaming shit. im just curious why its happening, as i fucking said, its random not every 5min or 10 or 15, and so forth. i use vista AND xp. the cards are working properly, they are also up to date. if this is router, then its not doing it to my other laptop. read the fucking posts before you post alone. jesus christ, stop accusing people of having vendettas against vista.

Seriously, your own friggin blog title is "vista keep loosing wireless connection" and you claim your not blaming vista? Your sure as hell not making it sound like that.

Are you using dynamic IP assigning?

Try to manually assign an IP for your vaio.

Try to manually enter DNS servers
