I've got a T42 with Intel 2200BG wireless and I'm having a problem losing connectivity with my wireless network. It works fine, when it works, but it randomly drops the connection, starts trying to "acquire the network address", then pops up the "This connection has limited or no connectivity" message.
Repairing the connection doesn't seem to help, but restarting the computer or even sending it into standby for a moment resolves the issue nearly every time. So it's not a difficult fix, but it's annoying, especially when it happens often, as it seems to be doing more and more. Today it happened twice in the first thirty minutes I was connected to the network. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: T42 / 2200BG repeatedly losing network connectivity...
I've had the same problem with both the 2200 and 2915 on my X30. I was using the basic wireless configuration application in Windows XP so I installed the Intel wireless application and it solved my problems. I haven't had a single drop in connection since then.

I've had same problems with 2915ABG. I've installed Atheros-chipset based card (ThinkPad Wireless b/g II) and I'm fine now.
