    I have a Lenovo e420s and I am having network problems.

    I lose internet connection about every 30 minutes. And when I run the network troubleshooter it doesn't detect any issues. The network icon shoes its connected to the router with full bars.
    There are no problems with the router and internet works on other computers.
    I have found a way to regain internet. I go to device manager and I disable and enable the network adapter. But I want a permanent solution to this.

    ---------------------------------

    Also when laptops get to critical battery stage, they usually shutdown in a few minutes. But mine takes 20 minutes to shutdown. The screen goes blank and I cannot do anything. What could be the issue here.

    Thank you.

    Have you updated your drivers through Lenovo Update? You also could have a bum WLAN card, test it out off a Linux live distro like Knoppix.
