    Hi guys

    I have a pc with win7.ultimate that is connected to LAN using a wired connection from its on board network port. It was running fine for about a month. Then one day, user complained that it is not connecting to another pc after leaving the pc for a short while.

    It can be resolved by disable the connection then re-enable, unfortunately it is not a permanent solution.

    No hardware issue reported in the device manager dialog.

    Why this is happening. Is there a better permanent remedy?

    I would look in device manager->network adapter ->power management settings to see if it's going into Sleep Mode.

    Thanks Steve. Sure enough the device was set to sleep, just turn this off and let's see how it goes.

    Cool... Years ago I did some emails with some department somewhere at Microsoft and tried to convince them to disable the option... Couldn't get them to understand what I was asking:eek:
