Ok, weird thing - I have a wireless network at home and a wired network at work.. I use my laptop in both places, if I put my laptop in standby or hibernate mode or leave it full on and bring it to work or back home, after it has been connected to one or the other networks it will not connect to the other one. It gives me a limited or no connectivity. Once I restart the machine all is fine and it will connect fine. Any ideas, I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem... Any ideas..

Probably cause the IP settings will be different when you are at home vs work. If you want to reconnect without rebooting, go into the command prompt. Type ipconfig /release. That will discard the old settings. Then type ipconfig /renew. That will hit router to get new settings to match wherever you are. That is what happens when you reboot.

I will try that and let you know what happens, but I don't think that is the problem, cause I set up the network at work.. Both at home and here at work I have netgear routers, same subnet, same router address, pretty much same everything. Maybe if I change the subnet on one router and make the iprange different. I will try that also. Thanks for the reply, I'll keep everyone posted.
