I just bought a new router and wireless adapter. I turned off WZC, and
currently using the netgear software for wireless management. the security
setting im using is wpa. The signal is good, but every hour i get
dissconnected. My utility says that the signal is still at 100% but i still
get kicked off. I went into event log and it said:

Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the
DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0xxxxxxxxxxxx. The
following error occurred:
The operation was canceled by the user. . Your computer will continue to try
and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

It takes a few minutes to get connected again. BTW the utility shows the
signal but the little windows icon has a porblem connecting.

PLEASE HELP. Thanks

I use a Belkin wireless router and in LAN SETUP there is a place to set the
lease time
from 1 hour upwards to forever , it might be yours is set to 1 hour
look on your router webpage mine is http://192.168.2.1/ your might be
different
depending on the make.
