Hi again John,
I want to clarify.
By saying freeze: Computer, programs and devices respond normally
except wireless connection. Wireless data connection stops, it dies,
the taskbar wi-fi icon stops flashing as a result of freeze or i can
call this problem ''unresponsive or non-reaction wireless connection''
although it still seems connected. (Duration counter of wi-fi icon
continues)
By saying ''no error messages'' i meant: When freeze happens i
receive no error messages like dialog boxes or connection lost.
Connections seems resuming on the icon of taskbar, but data transfer
is stopped and dead.

By saying ''error messages'' I meant: I receive error messages as a
normal reflection of computer if i do ''ping 192.168.1.1'' resulting
with %100 packet loss, and ''the page cannot be displayed'' for IE
WHEN freeze happens.

the values which i sent about ''ipconfig /all'' are the ''same'' when
freeze happens. Also what do you want from me to send you except
ipconfig /all ? Also i haven't done a binary comparision. How to do?

I haven't disabled DHCP inside my router, i just associated an IP for
my wi-fi adapter, so it seems ''disabled'' due to manual IP
configuration. Does it differ?

I re-enable my wi-fi adapter by going ''network connections'' windows,
right-click to disable, then i right-click again to enable called ''re-
enabling'' wi-fi adapter(Broadcom).
As it helps for freezing, also ''repair'' function helps.

I haven't tried your trick yet, when i try wired connection i post the
result of plugging CAT5 cable when wireless freeze happens.

Thank you for your detailed and close care again...

Regards...
