why does net keep dropping?
this laptop that i am using in my work. i realise that recently the net will just drop from this pc and even though it is showing connected, it will not load a page....
if i restart the machine it fixes the problem....
this happens sometimes every few hours or sometimes once for the day
why is this?

i never tried the wifi method but i guess if it happens again i can try that method?
now that your down to ur specific machine and wireless
lets look at the wireless manager
is it windows....
if its a dell machine - dell has its own wireles manager
sometimes enableing and disableing the wireless NIC in network connections will restablish without the need for a reboot

no i only use this at school.....so far for the day it hasnt happened again...only once
maybe the laptop has power saving enabled and if you don't active use wi-fi or ethernet it may power down those ports.
so check the power saving settings and adjust them
