Wireless connection does not work unless I reboot

I have a DSL wireless connection and only recently, my wireless connection
has been very flakey. Specifically, the Wireless Connection Icon in the
system tray typically cannot connect to my network unless I reboot my PC.

I have a second computer (Mac) connected to the same wireless network and I
do not have this problem. So I'm guessing it has to do with something on my
PC.

Any suggestions?

Thx,

I'll have to assume you're using Windows XP as you have not stated what OS
you're using, if this is the case you should make sure you are patched to
SP2 + the latest critical updates. Once you are sure of this visit my site
(URL below) and view the article entitled 'Wireless Connection
Troubleshooting in Windows XP Service Pack 2' for tips on resolving this.
