Win Vista & W/Less Network

Dummy · 2007-06-19 10:12:53

Hi, I recently upgraded to Vista. We are using a wireless network in the house and the signal strength on the PC is excellent.

Hi,

I recently upgraded to Vista. We are using a wireless network in the house and the signal strength on the PC is excellent.

When I log onto this PC I can surf away on the Net quite merrily, but if I leave the PC for a time and return to it, it has lost its network connection. The signal strength is still excellent. Disconnecting from the network and re-connect to the router does not remedy it. Rebooting the PC does.

Has anyone come across anything similar to this with Vista and did you find a solution?

Regards,

D

Mods - sorry. Just read the sticky that this Vista question should have been put in the Windows forum.

Can you move it please?

Thanks Capt'n - you are on the ball. Never knew that a peripheral's power settings could be adjusted like that.

Thank You.
