Strange Network Issues

Wonder if anyone can help me,
I have a Vaio VGN-NR31J and for some reason the wireless occasionally drops the connection, when i got to reconnect there are no connections available, if i go into control panel - system then the wireless card shows that there is no driver presest and if i go to reinstall the wireless driver then it says that it is unable to locate the correct driver even if i have it on disc, also if the wireless is not working and i connect an ethernet cable then the network connection shows connected but cannot obtain an IP address and fails to recieve any packets
Waiting a short period of time and restarting the laptop occasionally fixes the wireless issue but is very tempremental

is there any solution to this or is it time to replace my laptop after 14 months
thanks

Hi DJRecardo and welcome.

What version of Vaio Smart Network do you have installed?

:thinking:

At the moment I have installed windows 7 without the smaart network, however it behaves similar with the standard version of vista and smart network that came preinstalled, im unsure of the version
