My laptop has a VERY weird issue!

It should help if you go into device manager again then "disable" the microsoft wifi miniport adaptor. It's been causing problems for quite a while now with certain network set ups.

I can try! But my hopes are not high :P

Maybe my acer has a crappy network-card!?

If you can just disable the adaptor for now reboot the machine then post a screen shot of your ipconfig /all it would be most helpful. :)

Here you go:

The ipconfig looks totally normal. What kind of signal strength and speed are you getting?

When it freezes up does it unfreeze again without having to shut down?

I have full signal, and downloads at 3,2 mb/s (30 Mbit)

When it freezes up, it will unfreeze after a minute or two. And I dont need to shut down.

Ok the ipconfig looks fine but I can't help to think this is sounding like a harddrive problem. Intermittent freezing is typically a harddrive problem of some sort.

I believe your laptop is using an hitachi harddrive. Use the link below to download the hitachi harddrive utility and run the harddrive fitness test.

I tried the link, and chose "Hitachi" but why does it ask for a diskette?
And the CD-Image had just some old dos-files in it.

How do I use this? (Yes, I`m a noob) :P

I believe you can burn the file to a CD or DVD then run the program off the CD.

I know that, but the program has to be driven from DOS. And I dont have DOS

Windows 7 has a Dos prompt, just type cmd then enter into the start search window. But you don't need that, just click on the one that says CD image and burn to a CD using imgburn. You can also use the built in burner in Windows 7.

It's about the easiest thing you can do on a PC. :)
