Netbook Wireless Connectivity Problem

[sandy10]

Hi guys,

My GF has just acquired an Acer Netbook, running "Windows 7 Starter Edition"

She has AVG internet security/firewall etc installed.

I've connected wirelessly to my router, and it seems to connect to the 'net fine, then after a few minutes, it drops off - you can click on "connect" and it reconnects, only to drop off a few minutes later.

My laptop connects perfectly and has no "dropping off" problems.

Having researched online, I "disabled" IPHELPER which was supposedly a potential problem, but it's not resolved it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'm at work, so can't go onto the netbook to discover the network adaptor name/type - had thought this might be a windows problem?

Forgive my ignorance, how would that effect the wireless connection?
