    In the middle of my download, about 10 minutes after system restart my wireless connections goes away. I try to reconnect but vista can not detect any networks. Can anyone give me some possible solutions, thx.

    Shut off and restart the modem if you can, otherwise reinstall your wireless drivers.

    also make sure your power settings arent set up to turn down the wireless card after being idle for a while.
