WZC Keeps Stopping

I'm having a problem w/ my wireless network - Upon start up the wireless
connection works fine - but the after using it for a bit I seem to lose my
connection - web pages are simply not found. The connection is still reported
as Very Good but the diagnostics tell me that Windows is not managing my
network and when I check the WZC service I see that it stopped running for
some reason.

I start it again manually and all is well - only to be repeated again later.

The log on type is automatic and the wzcsvc in the registry does have the
Start Dword entry with a value of 2.

I am using the Westell 327z router that came with Verison DSL. It worked
fine in the past but has recently been having a problem.

Two things that are new: added a SONOS wireless audio system to the network
and installed Norton Internet Security 2007 (had to turn the firewall
off...that was causing very very very slow emai...but that's a problem for
another day).

Does it make sense that the sonos would be causing interference that results
in this behaviour?

Maybe it have it's own configuration app in such way it have to stop WZC,
just stop it working ( or uninstall temporarily ) and check what happen

Go to start, Run, type msconfig click ok. when window opens click services.
check hide all microsoft services and look for anything for anything running
wireless LAN. if you find it disable it. Then go to wzc and check it again.
Reboot and you should be ok.
