Network lost - then crashes...

[puca mor]

Not sure if this issue is in another thread - i couldn't find it anyway...

My Netbook Edition has crashed (frozen with no inputs working) a few times now.
It doesn't seem to matter what i'm running/doing with the computer - first it says it's disconnected from the wireless network, and then it'll be frozen.

When it crashes i've tried; 'Ctrl+Alt + backspace' 'alt + sys rq + k' and some 'REISUB' yoke.. but nothing seems to work except hard reset :-/

Any ideas?
thanks.

This could be eveyrthing ....

First Step ... get and install all Updates. Do you have a second OS on your netbook?

I have all latest updates afaik.
I only have Ubuntu.. no other OS.

I know i'm not giving you many clues to work with.. but tis only because i don't have many to give :(
The system seems to be working perfectly, everything is going grand - then just sometimes after maybe 45min - 1hr 30min into running it will just show the network disconnected message and be frozen.

thanks for your help.

It might be useful to tell us the make and model of the computer as well as the version of UNR.

Sorry - It's a Samsung N150

'cat /etc/issue' =
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l

'uname -a' =
Linux michael-laptop 2.6.32-24-generic #39~ppa1~loms~lucid-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 24 12:11:39 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Hi I've got the same problem, also on a Samsung N150.

Everything works fine when I'm near the wireless router. If I move further away the reception obviously drops and if I move too far away it loses the connection. I get the disconnected from the network message and then it often completely hangs up. No inputs work at all and I have to hold the power switch for a few seconds to reboot.

The system is completely up to date (running Natty).

Any help appreciated!
Cheers
