    This has been annoying me. Whenever I'm copying files over the network to/from my M6400 Covet, I lose network connection. I get the 'Limited Connectivity' message in Vista 64. It seems to happen for larger files transfers only. I have the latest software from Dell already. My solution is to restart the laptop. Anyone else have the same issue?

    Do you have an Intel 5300 card? If so, I have the same exact problem in Win7 64 on my M4400. I tried switching drivers, tweaking power management settings, etc. and nothing has worked so far. You should be able to get the connection back by disconnecting and reconnecting to the wireless network.

    Yes, I have Intel 5300 wireless card. I forgot to mention that my problem happens on the wired network, not wireless. My wireless is turned off when the problems happens.
