Unstopable Wireless Network Dissconnects

[thatredguy15]

Hey guys, I'm having a very very frustrating issue that happens when I surf the net and play WoW at random. My network will apparently "lose" it's connection and go to a "limited connectivity" state where I can only access the router and sometimes other computers on my network reliably. Below are some of the steps I've taken to fix this problem...

-Called my ISP to see if it was on their end. 3 total calls on the first 3 ocasions. Everything working on their end.

-Did a full reset on my router to retain factory default settings, followed by a firmware update to its latest version. The problem persists...

-Unchecked the "Connect to a more perferred network if available" box under Manage Wireless Networks section...still broke

-Disabled TCP/IP Auto-Tuning (wtf is this anyways)

-Swapped my Wireless adapter completely...WTF STILL NOTHING

I'm out of ideas, so if you guys have any idea what to do, that would be great. I'm ex-geeksquad so you don't have to baby me as far as technical details go.

Also, the dissconects seem to happen in about 30sec-3min bursts, localized just on my machine and not effecting other computers' online access when it happens.

Thanks in advance

Are any of your other boxes running Vista? What do you have to do to get it to reconnect. Try a release/renew (but you have to run cmd as an admin to do it).

Do you have WEP or WPA?

Yes the 2 other PC's both have Vista, and they have the same exact issue when it seems that they try to have multiple tabs open in IE...like our router is getting overpowered or something >_>

No encryp/security

sounds like interferrance. change channels on your wireless to 1, 6, 11 and see what works best.

I've tried every channel, and it still happens
