Hi, thanks for reading this. I've recently purchased a new Windows 8 PC with a built in WiFi adaptor on the Motherboard (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230). However after a small while the network connection drops out repeatedly making the internet unworkable. When this happens Windows Event Viewer says that it is a 0x79 error ("Your computer was not assigned an address from the network") and there is a "Name Resolution" warning as well. I've thus far been unable to find an answer in spite of trying out all kinds of potential solutions from other people who have had similar problems. Any help would be much appreciated, if you need any more information (logs etc...) please let me know.
