Thanks - initially thought updating firmware for router fixed this issue - not so - still says no connection available when I go from one place to another - And another thing-but probably not related - IE will not open in full screen-it always reverts back to reduced size

Hey Roamer,
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;303346
found this on M$ Knowledge base... seems like it applies to your situation.

Oh yeah, It's suggested to backup your registry before trying this... do you know how to do that?

Thanks for help - think I have isolated it to the router - took it out of the setup and pc stays online - maybe it's a configure issue - need to find out how to configure router to match isp
