FE41S wireless strange shutdown

[gerardpuducul]

hy all!

I have a strange problem with my FE41S under windows VISTA. Sometime the wireless (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG) shutdown (the green led switch off) and i can't power on it. I must reboot my notebook if i want to use wireless again (and in this case the reboot is very long (in fact the power off is very long)). This problem seems appears more often when I transfer big file (for example when i download a music from itune or when I transfer file on my network via wireless).

I have upgrade with the latest intel driver for vista.
I have try to change power setting for the wireless adapter.

But nothing change!!

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

Afraid I have encountered the same difficulty. It has happened a number of times recently, even after a clean install of Vista Ultimate (which certainly has speeded up my system following an upgrade from Windows XP to Vista Home Premium). Would be interested to hear from others on the wireless problem. My laptop is a VGN-C1Z

Yes, i have a VGN-C2Z, the wireless shuts down by itself. it happened several times this month !
Any special reason?

I haven't tried it but I understand disabling TCP/IPv6 can cure this problem. IPv6 is the new next generation IP included in Vista.

Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage Network Connections and right-click on your wireless connection and choose Properties. Clear the check box next to the Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in the list under "This connection uses the following items". This method disables IPv6 on your WLAN interfaces and connections and forces Vista to use the older Internet Protocol TCP/IPv4.

Worth a try as you can always enable it again if it doesn't help.

I have VAIO VGN-FE41Z and the same problem... I tried several Wi-Fi routers of different manufacturers, tried to call my ISP - but no positive results. Sometimes Wi-Fi shuts down on its own, without any reason...
