Resolved Occasionaly Losing Connection

New Inspiron 2300 All-in-One occasionally losing hard wired and wireless connection to internet. Other PCs on the network don't have the problem. PC's wireless icon indicates connection is there but clicking any URL results in a "Internet explorer cannot display the web page" message. I get the connection back after a reboot. It seems to happen after two or three hours of inactivity on the internet and PC.

Since other PCs aren't affected, I'm assuming it's hardware in the new PC. Any ideas?

 

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

 

Been away for a week. Powered on and I'll see how my connection goes after a few hours of inactivity.

 

Steve,

That didn't work. Disabled as suggested but same problem after a few hours on non-activity.

 

Looks like this is the driver problem. Have you tried to reinstall them?

 

That's the next step.

 

Updated driver but problem not solved.

 

Tony,

You mention "disable the unused adapter ". Now that I think about it, if the main PC is hard wired, are you saying there's no point in having the wireless adapter enabled as well?

 

That is what he is saying. Only one of them can connect at a time. Use either or.
