M2N32-SLI Deluxe (w.e.) internet connection issue?
After I installed the drivers for the on-board WiFi and connected to my wireless network I was able to connect to the internet no problem. But at some point it suddenly started to return "host not found" messages, and wouldn't connect no more. Uninstalling and reinstalling did fix it. But then my wife yesterday was looking at her web mail and something similar happened again. She couldn't remember the exact error message but was getting the option to let Windows "repair" the connection, which she took, and it did.
This morning I started IE and it was fine. I switched to my wife's account, launched IE, typed www.yahoo.com and IE froze solid. It even refused to let itself be shut down. I had to cut the power by holding in the PC's power button. I then rebooted and everything was hunky dory.
Still. Doesn't fill me with confidence that the on-board WiFi is working all that well. Anything I can do? Newer drivers or whatnot!?

Good news is, I think I may have resolved it: On the ASUS WiFi-AP Solo config screen there is a tick box for "Windows Zero Config". This was unticked. I ticked it, promptly losing connectivity, but then went to configure it through the Settings on the Wireless Network Connection in my "Network Connections" (winXP), and, fingers crossed, it has been fine since. Switching users, too, caused no problems. Something to consider.
