Is anyone else NOT having problems with 1.6.1 on a laptop?
I think it will depend largely on the laptop manufacturer. I still think it's an intermittent issue based on certain wireless NIC drivers. K4PC 1.6.1 is dynamically linking OpenSSL dll's, which also happen to be packaged up with many Windows wireless NIC drivers. I suspect that the different dll's are confusing K4PC. I've run into the same issue with some other (*ahem*) software I've worked on. Hopefully, Amazon figures it out soon and releases an update.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post. If you uninstall your wireless NIC drivers and use a hardwired ethernet connection to test if 1.6.1 then works on your laptop, you'll be able to bitch to Amazon and tell them definitively that it's related to the wireless drivers on our laptop. No takers for testing yet?
