    Hi, Very strange problem here. The WiFi connection works fine, but only when the laptop is also connected to the router using an ethernet connection.

It's not a clean restart at all, it just goes straight off, then begins to start up again, without warning. It's WinXP Pro SP2, AMD Athlon 1.3 Protected by...
