603073 2007-10-19 22:52:00 I am on Broadband but have an annoying issue with my computer. If I am away from it for any length of time and come back to it, the internet connection is off. i have to restart the computer or alternatively restart the router. Once on it again and using it , it'll stay connected.
Am I missing a setting that'll allow the PC to stand idle so that we don't have to keep reconnecting to the net??

Thanks for suggestions.

click the + sign and then it will show the card you have on the system.....then goto the 'power management' tab and UNtick 'allow the computer to turn this device off to save power'.......
