Not a lot of info to go on, but I'll make some suggestions that I hope will help. Without knowing your internet hookup, one way to track things down is to swap out both computers, and see if you have the same problem, or whatever the case. If the problem is the same, then you know it's a software problem on the 2nd computer, and may have to update IE to version 8, or maybe check the settings in Network in the Control Center. You may have a bad line if you're hardwired to the 2nd computer, or maybe a wireless setting needs to be tweeked. All I can think of for now, hope this helps, and good luck.

Samsung np300 laptop internet connection problems

If the connection is OK there, it probably means the problem is in your home. I find unplugging my router at least once a week does wonders for my connection. You might also be just far enough from your router that your signal is marginal, try moving the laptop closer or move you router closer to where you work.

Cannot maintain wireless connection

Try manually add the network. If the problems continue, I would turn the laptop in for repair/replacement (if it under warranty).
