    Default Skype = Self Destruct For Wireless Internet Connection?

    I just recently installed Skyp and was trying it out with my brother in law in Ottawa. We got it to work for a few minutes and then I magically lost my wireless connection. I couldn't turn it back on so I rebooted and it connected just fine. Fire up Skype again, chat for a few minutes and BOOM! No more wireless. I've never had connection problems before and I use this laptop several times a week. What the hell?
