Hi,

What is your access point/wireless router? I think the problem is about it, not your notebook.

We need more information - the only things you've told us in that you have a ZV5000 (the ZV5000 term applies to an entire series of laptops - for example ZV5405 or ZV5330) and you keep loosing the wireless connection.

It would be nice if we knew what type of wireless network you have - is it 802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g? What type of wireless router or wireless access point are you connecting to? How far apart are the laptop and the access point/router? Are there any walls in between?

Without this information it's difficult to make suggestions, but, off the top of my head - here are a few.

Do you have a 2.4 GHz cordless phone? It would be on the same frequency band as an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network and could disrupt your network, similarly microwave ovens - in fact, even a fishtank or a bathroom showerin the wrong location could bring your network down.

Give us some details and we can provide more appropriate suggestions.
