Sorry, but I can't read your mind, so I don't know what you're thinking
of and what's actually happening when you say things like "freezes" and
"cannot ping". You also said "no error messages" but now you say there
_are_ error messages. This makes it much more difficult to help you.

The "solid data" is what I asked for. You need to let me be the judge
of what I need to know, OK?

Let's just find out, shall we? As Jeff says, "Assumption is the mother
of all screwups."

I don't want that. What I want is when it freezes.

You're done a binary compare? Or just a quick scan? Why not just post
what I asked for?

Why do you have DHCP turned off?

What I want is that same thing for when it "freezes".

Unfortunately, Microsoft error messages are pretty unhelpful. Let's
just start with ping. Then we can move on to nslookup.

FYI, "freezes" is normally taken to mean the system has locked up and
become unresponsive.

How do you click "re-enabling wi-fi adapter"? Is that just a message,
or is it really something you are clicking?

When the connection "freezes", can you connect to the wireless router
over a wired connection? If so, what does it show for wireless status?
What does it show for Internet status?
