It started happening last night and my laptop started to connect to the router, lose the connection, connect again and keep on repeating the process and hence no internet connection anymore.

Its not just my router its doing it to either.

Have tried disconnecting the wireless, rebooted, connected the wireless again (nothing worked), have tried restarting the WZC, tried a repair on the router and made sure the proxy settings are off on IE.

None of this works and it still connects for a few seconds and disconnects and then connects again. Its not the routers, they have been checked.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Ok, where are the settings for a router?

The router was setup by an external company (my company) and delivered as a black box, just hook up and your away type of solution...

so I see no settings options or the ability to hook upto it and swap channels.

Is it the laptop-to-router connection thats being dropped, or is it the router-to-www connection thats being dropped ?

If its router-to-www then do you have a sky digi box plugged in to the telephone line - if so unplug - nasty little feckers those sky boxes.
Laptop to router.... tried in a controlled environment and still its a no go...
