My M1530 is running Windows Vista Home Premium and my desktop is running the same. I have an external connected to my desktop and I usually stream video content through it via wireless network on my laptop. Recently, about a week ago, whenever I am watching a video, my wireless disconnects and freezes up the player I am using at the time. (VLC, Media Player Classic, WMP, etc). I'm not too sure what is causing this because it has been fine for months. I did, however, experience a black out about a week ago (lightning storm hit the electrical plant) and this started after it. Both computers have a static IP, my desktop uses Comodo while my laptop uses ZoneAlarm, and the router I am using is Netgear WNDR3300. I connect through the N frequency, but this also happens on the G. Any ideas? Need more information?

by chance... would you find any warnings or errors in the event history log? you should be able to get there via rightclicking Computer on your desktop - manage - events viewer (sorry if it's not exact, i have non-english xp but it should be similar). look into application and system log to check if any problem has been recorded there. it could help to find the root of the issue.

the only thing with an alert is Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
seemed to happen twice within the last couple of hours...but it seems to have been at the time of startup
when i got into system log it tells me this Event Viewer cannot open the event log or custom view. Verify that Event Log service is running. The data is invalid (13) -
sorry for the wrong direction... whoever around has vista, could this event log issue have anything to do with non-admin account and/or UAC??? as it seems to me that this definitely should not happen and something's wrong. but i don't know vista really well.

No problem at all, but I took the liberty of looking it up myself to save someone else the hassle

System log seems to be working now =), back on topic hehe wireless is still disconnecting and nothing new popping up in the logs -
Okay just got this on a disconnect while watching Resident Evil Degeneration through the network
The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{C164F8E7-FCB7-4835-85F7-AFB398320EC9} because a master browser was stopped.
in the system log after my wireless disconnected itself -
would response #4 in following thread help to solve the issue?

Thanks for the advice, but I'm very reluctant to try that as the information is almost 10 years old now haha... However, I did look into that field in regedit and I don't see the second part in there.

some windows troubles are eternal...
this looks newer, with a solution which worked for vista:
