Does this happen when you deliberately re-boot either the router the laptop? If so, it is probably only a small configuration problem.
You should have a thorough read of »Security »How do I secure a wireless network (wireless router)? or »www2.dslreports.com/faq/8698 (there may be issues with one or other of these links for some people)
While you are doing all of that , let's hope that you can get someone who knows both the router config options and NIS.
Questions you will need to answer
* versions of NIS and any updates done * exact model of router, firmware version, etc.
And while I am at it, what is the update status of Windows XP? I can not emphasize enough that it ought to be fully updated, unless there are any known incompatibilities with the Vaio. Do you have a firewall elsewhere? Is the Windows Security Center turned on? Is the Internet Connection Firewall On or Off? What is the update status of the anti-viral component of NIS? What is running on the Vaio when this happens?
You may need to be patient. If in doubt, please wait for an expert answer. Meanwhile you should plan to be back here as much as possible, so please register so that we can get to know you!
