Re: [connectivity] DSL-Occasional Loss of Connectivity on only o
Hi Sivran:
Thanks again for your response.
LAN-->Properties--> Configure--->Power Management
gives me the option to uncheck "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power". It is now checked in on both LAN icons mentioned earlier.
Would you recommend I uncheck this box in BOTH LAN setups?

"Since you have two adapters listed, check the back of your computer and see if there's an ethernet port back there. If you find one, that'd be the Intel. The USB adapter would be plugged into a USB port, possibly with an ethernet cable connected to it. If you find it, remove it, and plug the ethernet cable into the built-in adapter."
=================================
I'm not sure I know how to identify an ethernet port at the back of my computer. I don't see those words used there. I do see a line from the router plugged into one of the openings in the back of the PC. But I can't seem to find anything that might correspond to that "Intel Pro/1000 Network Connection" listed in the device manager under ; "Network adapter". This is the network adapter used by the LAN which IS connected.
The USB Adapter is a Linksys: Compact USB 2.0. It is inserted into a USB port in the back of the PC , and isn't connected to anything else such as a wire, cable etc.... This is the adpater which is giving that RED X Local Area Connection 2. It shows "unplugged" in the Network Connections Panel AND down in the Systen tray icons. Would you recommend I simply unplug this USB 2.0 removable Network Adapter? Should I merely disable that LAN 2 which now reads: "disconnected"? For the purposes of connectivity, could I simply leave that LAN connection alone?
Would appreciate further guidance.
Thanks in advance:
