Name resolution problem

We travel full-time, so I connect with different WiFi networks all the time. I have had a nagging problem that occurs regardless of the network and regardless of which WiFi adapter I use.

I boot up (Windows XP SP2), find a nearby network, and connect. Works good. I disconnect after doing my business. When I reconnect with the same network from the same location later, I almost never get name resolution until I reboot the laptop; then things work fine again.

I have tried:

-- "Repair" the connection

-- Disable/unplug the WiFi adapter, let Windows rediscover it, and connect again

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
