Its possible that the IPV6 is disabled, lets enable it.

-Right click on the network icon and select Open the Network and Sharing Center.
-In the resulting window, select "Change adapter settings".
-In the Network Connections window, select the "Local Area Connection" for the onboard NIC , then "Change settings of this connection" or file>properties.
-In the connection property page, check the box for "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)".

My wireless connection keeps disconnecting every now and then. It gets really annoying when I'm downloading something large, as it makes me do the whole thing over and over again many times before I can get the file. What could be the reason? The laptop is not even two months old.
