Limited or No Connectivity + Bluetooth Issues

I have a Inspiron E1705 laptop it has a Intel Pro Wireless 3945aBG Network Connection.  The problem I have started running too only after I upgraded to Windows Vista is after running Utorrent eventually over the night of it running it will make my connection go to limited or no connectivity this only seems to happen if the program Utorrent is running.  I have made sure the firewall is off and it is I have checked everything on Utorrent I truly don't know what else to do.  Any advice?
 
Also having problems with my Bluetooth after the upgrade.  Can only get bluetooth devices to work after clearing the bluetooth stack and reinstalling drivers.  Shouldn't be this hard.  Dell Truemobile 355 Bluetooth + EDR.  I love VISTA just wished I could work through the kinks.  I have done ALL the updates I don't know what else to do.
 
Any help is appreciated....

Ok well the limited or no connectivity just happened without utorrent open.  I just don't know what else to do and only rebooting fixes it.

Christi:
 
I have had a wealth of connectivity issues with Windows Vista. It took me approximately four to five weeks to finally get my new Dell XPS Vista system to work. I had purchased a Netgear wireless adapter through Dell (to use with my pre-existing Netgear wireless router), but it just never would work. One of the Dell techs told me that it was a Vista problem, and he felt that installing XP might fix the problem. Eventually, my problem got bumped up to a higher level, and that tech was not able to resolve the problem either with the Netgear adapter that Dell is selling with its new systems.
 
Finally, this very helpful Dell tech support person (three cheers for Chris from Dell in Oregon) sent me a Belkin wireless adapter. After I got the correct drivers installed for the Belkin wireless,  I have zero connectivity issues under Vista for the last two days.
 
I suggest you try a different wireless adapter. From what I can tell, some of these wireless adapters will just NEVER run correctly under Vista. I suggest the Belkin wireless adapter. It worked great for me.
