| 628054 | 2008-01-07 05:34:00 | Hi Am running Vista Home premium and Firefox using a Broadband connection.If I am inactive for a few minutes the connection to Internet is dropped and I have to wait minutes for it to be reconnected. The connection is via Belkin ASDL Router. I have searched for timeouts in Router and Firefox and Windows but cant see where this can be addressed. Any ideas welcome. | Ericee (10848) | ||
| 628055 | 2008-01-07 05:37:00 | Is the router set to be always connected, or connect when needed? I can't remember the exact name of the setting in the Belkins. It's in there somewhere. Are you connecting to the Belkin using an Ethernet cable, or wireless? Is Vista set to go to sleep or anything like that? |

| 628056 | 2008-01-07 05:53:00 | yeah the router needs to be connected all time so it won't reconnect unless if you reset the modem. Is it connected all time? | grahic (12930) | ||
| 628057 | 2008-01-07 05:55:00 | There is an idle timeout setting there somewhere, keep looking. Possibly on the Internet WAN/Connection Type menu |

| 628059 | 2008-01-07 07:22:00 | I think someone here had the same prob with their modem. It was connected with ethernet, but the fix I gave (which applied to USB modems), was to go into the network adapter entry in device manager. And then go to the power management tab and disable / untick allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. I dont know where this is in Vista, I dont use it. |
