hi i bought a acer ne laptop which is on linux operating system.
i bought it 9 months ago now.
the problem is it keep losing it interent. i keep rining acer up n they say to rebot it. which is a pain as it has no cd drive. so i have to plug usb cd drive in to rebot it.
it has lost the interent connection several times now.
the laptop if useless for me. i have explained his to acer and all they say is that i have to keep reinstalling it.
has anyone eles had this trouble?

Who did you buy it from? I suggest you take it back to them, QUICK!The quickest way to become a millionaire is start off as a billionaire and go into the airline business.

Sounds like you have a faulty keyboard too.
Have you tried switching channels on the router? Some channels will give better reception than others. If you tell me the model and make, I'll talk you through it.0 -
possible options - check power settings for wifi card in winxp it is set to switch off until needed by default
install ubuntu and see if thats any better
install win7 and see if thats any better
you have a usb cd drive so the last 2 should be easy to doNorn Iron Club Member #64

Have you tried a direct wire connection, and tried wifi up close to the router ,it might be due to many reasons0
