Yep.

So that proves my point that is a Vista Wifi issue and not the hardware. It's definitely wireless related though.

I've been streaming music from a desktop pc since you started this thread and my laptop hasn't frozen once. I've been googling the whole day yesterday and today for a solution. Will let you know if I find anything else.
 
My new laptop is freezing for some reason... What should i do.
Could charging it for long cause this?
If not what is it or what can i do to find out and fix it.:(

there seems to be alot of issues recently with freexes when a pc go into stand by mode or sleep.
I know if my system sleeps i cant get it back on again no matter what i do....vista is the worst,i have to fight with the keyboard.

Do this:
1. Click on Start button.
2. Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
3. Right mouse click on CMD and choose Run As Administrator. Allow elevation request.
4. Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.
5. Restart the computer.

Test it again. If it doesn't work. Use LSPfix:

Only click finish, no matter what, do not do anything else with it.
Just open it and click finish, nothing else, you have been warned.

Not which I have noticed, but I know that is happens completely random with me.

If you have a desktop system and a music folder on it, try using Winamp or something similar to play music from the desktop through the Wireless. That's as good as a download and should also allow you to see if it freezes. Leave the music to play for about 45 minutes or more.
 
After days of searching (3 days), my laptop still fricken freezes :mad: :(

I thought I had fixed it :( I set my router to broadcast 802.11g only (54mbps), I copied 2.5GB across the network with no freeze, but as soon as I copied something else it froze gain :o
 
seems like premature hardware failure.

I doubt it. I have the added joy that the Toshiba BIOS update for my laptop refuses to flash the BIOS for some reason, it's getting ridiculous. My threads on Toshiba's support forum doesn't even get answered, but it has 500 views :eek:
