    Your English is fine vincent_zh

    Are you able to try it with a static IP address and gateway settings instead of using the DHCP server?

    Did you ever get this fixed? I also have a thinkpad with the same problem. It happened once before and I had IBM replace the nic card and the problem stopped for a while. Now the problem is back. I'm about to call IBM.
