hey guys,on my xp OS i have wireless and im using ipconfig as the wifi manage but sometimes when i start the OS the wireless manager dosn't work not that it cant pick up the signal from 2 feet away, it just dosnt work on my vista OS works fine from same room 4 bar signal the only solution ive found is to call up Ihug and that usualy solves the problem but the ISP should have nothing to do with IPconfig not working i ve looked for driver updates ect. but mybey its just one of those things.

I hate being the grammar-nazi... But, seriously, please take the time to use proper spelling, sentence structure and punctuation. Reading that paragraph was painful.

If it's something that your ISP has control of, it sounds like it's their problem. Do you have a combo modem/router ? If so, perhaps the ISP is rebooting it.

I do not know New Zealand laws, but I would not be surprised if you signed over permission for them to fiddle with your modem (which is also your router) when you signed up with their service. That sort of thing is often necessary for them to manage the network.

If it doesn't behave properly until your ISP does something, the quickest and easiest way to figure out what that is would be to simply ask them. ;)

None of that really pertains to your original question, though... If your ISP has some method of fixing your problem, why not ask them what the problem is and how they're fixing it...?

Well, have you considered that it might be your wireless device?

These days, cheap ethernet devices are pretty dang good.... but cheap wireless devices remain really problematic. Even if it isn't "cheap," it still might be a bad piece of hardware.
