I'm back baby!
Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the Windows forum, as it could well be software related, but I've exhausted all the avenues I can come up with.

If I have a download running my laptop loses the Gateway within 2-10 mins and needs to have it manually reset by running the troubleshoot facility (right-click > Troubleshoot problems). If I don't reset it, it stays broken.

I have Intel chipset, so don't think it's related to the much-maligned Nvidia/Windows 7 issues. It is using the Windows default driver. I have tried a reinstall TNA. I have also temporarily disabled the bonjour service without effect.

This doesn't happen if I run wired, and the PS3 doesn't experience any issues at all, nor does our lasses XP netbook.

Any ideas?

Typical ping responses:

With downloads running at max:
Ping statistics for 209.85.169.147:
Packets: Sent = 116, Received = 94, Lost = 22 (18% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 33ms, Maximum = 154ms, Average = 56ms

Without downloads running:
Ping statistics for 209.85.169.147:
Packets: Sent = 251, Received = 251, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 33ms, Maximum = 133ms, Average = 38ms

Limiting the downloads to 400kB/s has no noticeable effect either.
