Sony Vaio, Vista & Wireless

Anyone having problems where they get an intermittent connection to a Wireless AP using a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista?  The only thing that seems odd to me is that you have to set the Wireless AP settings in both Windows Network & Sharing and also in the Vaio Communications center.  I have a friend who can connect fine, but every so often, only for 10 to 15 seconds, the wireless LAN drops to "Local Only" and after a couple page refreshes (and no other interaction from the user) the connection is good for a while.  We had days where my she was able to surf 2-3 hours with no noticeable interruption, other days were she drops 15 times an hour.

Any help here or in email would help, there are about 100000 "professional" posts on various forums that people claim to fix this, but non of the problems are the same as mine. 



Thanks in advance.

Gravatar I do have the same problem.
I tried EVERYTHING. removed the wifi card from Device manager. Remove IP Protocol CP6 from, tried to set a fixed IP address. Vista + that Sony Vaio VGN-FZ240E is a big disappointment. It will not connect all the time to many different APs.
