</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Sometimes it starts working again but usually I have to reboot. The router is a standard Linksys wireless G. If it is a problem with the wirless modem n the computer--built in--would using a wireless G card plugged into the computer trouble shoot that? If it worked and did not have the problem then it would be a hardware issue with myinternal wireless card? Thanks. J )</font>

You are on the right track. If the problem is not resolved until a reboot of your computer, I would be looking at either an internal hardware issue (NIC) or even possibly a software issue. Before replacing the card see if there has been a software update or conflict (unlikely). You can check for hardware software updates when (if) you use "Windows Update" and look under the Hardware option. (Just saw that I have an update for my wired NIC.) There could also be a problem with compatibility issue between the laptop NIC hardware/software. (That was an issue that I had until I had to replace the router.)

The last time I checked I could get an inexpensive router for about the same price as a PCMIA NIC

Goodluck

Try going to a spot that has a WiFi or a friends house that has a wireless conection. If you work fine there with no issues then you know it is your router.
If you do have an issue then you know it is either your wireless card or Windows droping your connection.
If it is the machine or card try to borrow someones PMCIA wireless car 7 use that to test - that willbe one more thing to eliminate for the issue.
That should narrow it down for you.
