Go to device manager..right click your NIC and go to properties. Under
the power management tab be sure allow the computer to turn off this
device to save power is not checked.

|I posted the following to the wrong newsgroup:
|
| All,
|
| I am using Windows XP Pro SP2 on a Gateway 700XL. Comcast Cable is
the ISP
| with an "always on" connection requiring no password or dialup.
Zone Alarm
| for a firewall; I have checked several times and the Microsoft
firewall is
| *not* enabled. Netgear wireless router. The main computer is
plugged into
| the router via wire using the NIC built into the computer. My
Gateway 300S
| is in the hamshack connected to the wireless router via Netgear PCI
card;
| the Gateway 200X notebook is using a Netgear PCMCIA card. All the
wireless
| stuff is working just fine. Even my Dell Axim X50v can access the
internet
| via the router.
|
| Here comes the problem: I boot the main computer and log on (my
wife and I
| have separate accounts on that computer, but neither is passworded)
and do
| whatever. I get up and go away for a while, staying logged on, I
don't
| really keep track of the number of minutes this takes to happen, but
I sit
| down to the computer later and attempt to access the internet via IE
or
| check email with Outlook and get a response that I am not connected,
do I
| want to work offline. I have learned the fix for this is just log
off and
| back on, no reboot of the computer is necessary.
|
| This began happening *either* after the installation of SP2 *or* the
| installation of the Netgear router. Before the Netgear, I had been
using a
| Linksys wireless (also before SP2) and never had this problem.
|
| The Netgear people pointed me to a setting in the router set-up that
is not
| used for always-on ISPs but only for dial-up accounts. There is a
timer in
| there to kill a dial-up account after X minutes of inactivity;
setting this
| to zero essentially disables it. But, as I said, it does not apply
for
| always-on connections. I changed it anyway and it had no effect. I
have
| searched through the various router settings and can find nothing
about idle
| timeouts or timeouts. The DHCP leases are always set for 72 hours
or
| greater.
|
| The other two computers apparently do not suffer from this automatic
| disconnect. I can leave the machine in the hamshack turned on all
day, go
| in and check email on that account and the computer is still
connected.
|
| Does anyone have any idea what is going on? This is getting a bit
| bothersome, having to log off and on just to regain access to the
internet.
| Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this
topic has
| been covered before; if so, just point me in the direction of the
solution.

|
