If I disconnect from the wireless or unplug the ethernet cable then reconnect, the laptop aquires a network address OK and says its connected but within seconds drops the connection. Connection and dropping then carrys on endlessly.

In contrast the PC can be disconnected and reconnected from the wireless router without any problem. Finally, if I connect the laptop directly to the cable modem there is no problem even if I disconnect then reconnect.

I think the problem lays with the set up of the laptop, probably because its a company machine.
Possibly but lots have reported problems of one sort or another with Belkin Routers. Are you running the latest firmware? Any Belkin Forums you can access?
