I'm connected through a wireless connection and today it has randomly jumped on and off for unknown reasons. Out of nowhere today the computer icon on the bottom right of my taskbar disconnected with a little red X beside it. Then it reconnected with the popup ballon saying "wireless internet connection 2 (CABRAL) connected". And I'm thinking to myself, "what the hell is CABRAL?". And I didn't do anything at all.

I was talking to a friend of mine in between taking calls at the job I work at (I work from home), and it suddenly disconnected. And it would reconnect over the smallest and strangest things I would do to my computer. I might disconnect a separate connection and BOOM, working connection, then 5 or 10 minutes later it would disconnect again. Called up Rogers customer service and of course they didn't anything they had no clue what they were talking about. This is the strangest problem I've had with my computer and would not be surprised if none of you fine folks could help me with it.
