Check out Power Management options for the network adapter (Local Area
Connection Properties - Configure - Power Management tab) and make sure that you
haven't enabled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

I have a similar problem -- when the system has been idle
for some time, I lose connection to the internet. To
restore the connection, I have to disable the LAN
connection (in Network Connections), and the re-enable
it. That solution works everytime, but I would prefer not
having the disconnection in the first place. I disabled
Power Management, but the problem persists.

I attempted the solution suggested below, but there is no
Power Management tab that I can find for the Netgear
FA311.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Jeff,

Does the sequence "ipconfig /release" then "ipconfig /renew" have any effect? I
made a batch file with that sequence, triggered by a shortcut.

Chuck,

I tried that a while ago as a preventive measure -- but that did not work. I
think what you are getting at is using that sequence instead of
disabling/enabling from Network Connections. I'll give that a try and let you
know. If that works, perhaps it will give us a better idea of what is causing
the problem.

Thanks.

OK, Jeff, give it a shot. And let's look for the cause of the problem when we
know more.
