Hi, I did a search on this and didn't find an answer. My Windows XP2
works great except for loss of internet capability after it has been
idle for several minutes. I can use explorer and email all day with no
problems. If I leave the computer running and go eat lunch or
something, when I come back explorer "can't find server" and email
won't connect. It's like something has turned off the interent access.
If I reboot, everything is fine. I have looked for a timeout in the
firewall and can't find any. Windows firewall is on and so is CA EZ
Firewall. EZ Firewall installation leaves Windows firewall on. Any
ideas?
 
Try going to system..hardware tab..right click you NIC and on the power
management tab uncheck allow the computer to turn off this device to save
power.
