I am having a problem with one of my two computers.
Recently my desktop computer will lose the internet
connection after it idles for a coupe hours. I am on
cable internet, my other computers on my home network
access the net fine. I tried disabling the network
connection and re-enabling it and it still won't work. I
have to restart my computer to regain it. Anyone with any
information regarding this topic, please email me if you
have an explaination or a fix. Thanks Ty
 
Hello, Ty -

I'm guessing here because I don't have a bunch of
information about your system but there is one thing I
can think of.

Is it possible the power management setup on your machine
is turning off your network card? Take a look in Device
Manager - if you right-click your network card and look
at the properties page there, under the Power Management
tab you'll see a checkbox that allows your machine to
shut off your network card. I'd untick that box and see
if it solves the problem.

Goos luck -
