lost wireless connection: check card power setting Hi, I've been reading this thread closely and tried all of the suggestions.
My wireless connection gets disconnected sporadically
(sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 1 hour).
I am using a WRT54G Linksys wireless router and a
WindowsXP Professional (Dell Inspiron Laptop) with a
Microsoft MN-720 wireless notebook adapter for a 802.11g
connection.
Other than the sporadic disconnection issue, the setup
and regular operation was working fine.
Based on some of the feedback on this thread I finally got around to turning off
the power management option which allows Windows to power off the wireless NIC
card. Things have been working fine (fingers crossed) for
the past few hours...
Worth a try...
Microsoft Broadband Network Utility --> Tools --> Adapter
Settings --> Wireless adapter settings --> configure... --
> General tab --> Connect using ...[wireless notebook
adapter name] Configure --> Power Management tab -->
UNCHECK 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to
save power' |

| Doh!! Lost the bloody connection again Damn! logged in this morning and 15 minutes later I lost the wireless connection again.
Back to messing about with the Wireless Zero configuration which, until now, has not been helping me as I lose the connection as soon as I disable the Wirless Zero service. Any suggestions?? |
