Losing wireless connection to specific wireless network


Hi All,

I have a Vaio VGN-SZ430N notebook with Vista business pre-installed. I
use the notebook at work and home. At work I mainly utilize the wired
LAN but occasionally make use of one of the wireless networks and I have
no problems. Home is another story. I cannot stay connected to our
home network for any extended periods of time, like an hour max and then
I get kicked off. Sometimes it is worse, and I lose the connection
every 5-10 minutes. None of my roommates have this problem.
Additionally, from home I can connect to one of my neighbors' unsecured
networks and stay on all day with no problems. Given all of this I'm
hopeful resolving this issue is just a matter of changing a setting or
something. But I've no idea what to do. The network connection icon in
the taskbar shows that I am still connected even after I get kicked off.
I go through the diagnose and repair steps and this is what happens:
1. Diagnose message - "Cannot communicate with primary DNS server"
2. Repair step one - Automatically renew IP - I try this and it fails
every time
3. Repair step two - Reset Network Adaptor - This works and I can
reconnect (until I unavoidably lose the connection again)

Any and all help is appreciated!
