Hi i was wondering if anyone could give me some help i have 3 laptops, two which have a built in wireless card and the other laptop has a card to be inserted in the side.

The problem is that the two laptops that have the built in wirelss card connects and works proberly but the other one i think it connects to the router and it comes up in the screen saying that it is connected and has exellect connectivity but one minute later it loses its connection then connects again.

It just continues to do that, i have tried copying the ip address from the other laptops and does the same thing

THANKS

Try updating your drivers before trying any firmware update.
Heres the main page for your card- Main Page

Check in Device Manger/Network Adaptors to make sure the Card is installed ok, with no yellow exclamation marks.

I have looked in there and it is in the device manager but it now isnt acquiring network address anymore
