462991 2006-06-14 09:18:00 I have xp connected to a router for internet access & network, it intermittantly drops the connection to the router. the adsl light shows it's still connected but it won't go through to the internet until i disable the connection & enable it again. It seems to be linked to how long it's left idle. I unchecked let the system turn the device off & it made no difference. I haven't made any adjustments to the router settings.

It's just done it after around 10 minutes, the other computer still had internet access, but I didn't check the network connection to the other comp. I'll do that next time it falls over

Any ideas?
