When i first start the machine it will connect to my wireless access point signal strength (exellent). Then about 1min later it disconnects and when i view available networks my access point disappears. Now when i go into network properties under preferred networks it shows that my access point is disconnected, however when I hit refresh it will show that the access point is connected but it won't move it up to available networks???

I found out that it was actually the card that was the issue. I swithced it out with a different brand of wireless card and it works fine now and I no longer have any disconnection problems of any sort. By the way my new wireless card is put out by microsoft ... I did this to ensure full compatability with windows and my network.
