intermitent wireless connection problem

About every 10th to 20th time I attempt connect to the internet I get a "No Connection Can Be Found" message. I normally have my wireless connection and 2 or 3 more sensed in the neighborhood. When I go to "Connect To", no connections are shown.

To connect, I have to turn the computer off and then back on. Turning the computer off and back on always allows me to connect to the internet and when I check for available connections, all the normally available sources are there.

Any ideas???
Thanks

What operating system are you running?
Have you recently done any drivers updates?

It sounds like it could be a driver issue...

Given that 2 service packs have been rolled out, you really should look up the WiFi make/model and see if the actual manufacturer (NOT the OEM, as they are usually hopeless on this front) has released driver updates. May also be a faulty WiFi on/off switch
