I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop with Windows XP. I am able to connect to the router but every minute or so it will tell me Connection is limited or no connectivity, then reconnects with no problems. It also does the same thing if I am using a hardline for internet. I am able to access the internet between the times that it does this. It is not the internet router because my desktop connects to the wifi and ethernet just fine, I have tested with one, the other, and both. Also I live in a fraternity house and my lap top is the only one that has this problem in the entire house. I also have trouble connecting to any internet on campus with wifi, it does the same thing.
One thing that makes it weird though is when I go home I am able to connect to the wifi there with 0 problems and it holds, and if I just close the laptop without shutting down, suddenly I am able to connect to any internet without problems even the internet at the house but once I shut the computer off this problem starts again unless I am at home.
I just need help finding out the problem and getting this to stop ASAP, please and thank you
