Hello everybody,
I have been around these forums for a long time and I have grown to respect all of you with all computers not just mac. I have recently recieved a windows computer (IBM Thinkpad T60) from my college. (all freshmen have to use this model computer, next year I get the mac) So it comes with Novell Services on it which is used for our networking. I am at my beach house and I am having issues with the system. I want to keep using the system to get my self aquainted with it so that I am not feeling like I don't know it that well when I am at school. I am fairly confident with Windows, but I have run into a weird problem that I can not figure out. When I am using the computer the internet will just stop working. I can get on wireless network by removing the wireless card from the device manager (not physically removing the card) and then reconnecting it. This gets my internet back but not for long (until I turn off my computer). I can get on the internet in this way, but through windows not through Novell. If anybody can help me work out this issue, I would be very happy, as if I don't I will have to give the computer back to get it repaired, and I do not want to do that, because that would leave me with out a laptop because I am planning on selling my powerbook, and I am going to hawaii and need a laptop when I leave.
I know you guys are smart and will help me with this, so thank you in advanced for reading my post and offering suggestions, and help.
