  Try reinstalling the wireless adapter driver. I had a load of windows security updates and .NET framework updates installed yesterday on my Windows 7 laptop which screwed with the LAN drivers. A reinstall of the drivers cured it. It maybe that you’ve had the same?

  Not worked mate. Seems to be a vista issue judging by the search online.

  Static IP address will resolve the problem. I bet the IP address for the laptop is in the 169.x.x.x range. If that is the case then a static IP will fix it.
  
  Usually using the following will sort it once & for all;
  
  IP Address: 192.168.0.15 (or 192.168.1.15)
  Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.1.1)
  Primary DNS: 192.168.0.1 (192.168.1.1)
  
  This problem is usually caused by the Wireless LAN driver (Vista & Win7 use the SAME drivers).
