Going online

[Guest]

When attempting to go online, about 8 out of 10 times, messages appears that
page cannot be found. This repeats regardless of page sought. The Internet
icon on task bar has red X on it. When right clicking the icon, a pop up list
with several items appears, 2 of which are Repair and Status. By clicking
repair on either of these, a message says that Windows is taking action to
renew my IP Address.

At this point, I'm ususlly able to connect ,but this doesn't mean that I'll
stay connected. I may have to repeat the above several times during a session

I will check the Power option for the wireless Card in Device manager and
uncheck the check box for [ ] let the Computer or the system turn this
device for power saving under power management.
