I have a wireless network with 2 PCs and a laptop. It works just fine until I shut down my laptop and then my PC loses it's network connection. All the computers have a static IP address. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Depends on what you mean by "loses it's network connection". Red X on the wireless icon? Yellow exclamation mark (limited connectivity)? Just can't browse the Internet? What EXACTLY?
Red X on the wireless connection icon and can't access the internet.

Why are you using static addresses? That can be a source of problems.
Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread -- it's confusing.
What happens when you:
- "Repair" the connection?
- Restart the router?
I have to restart the router and disable, then enable the wireless connection on my PC. The connection then works again briefly but rarely stays up for more than 15 minutes until my laptop is reconnected to the network.

That's not what I asked, and you shouldn't have to do both. Try the two things I asked, and let us know _exactly_ what happens in each case. Also try the script at
