My problem: If my PC (dell dimension 2400) has been idle for more than
2 hours, I can not connect to the internet(dial-up) unless I reboot.
Everything else on the PC is fine...power settings correct(not on
standby, or hiberante)...modem ok....no spyware or viruses. The only
glitch since the computer was new.
Someone suggested the my Lexmark x75 printer maybe the "problem"? They
suggested that it may be trying to connect to the interent on it's on
while I'm idle, and somehow the modem times out. Printer itself works
fine, and I have surfed the net and seen some postings about Lexmark
issues. Just as many contrary beliefs too.
Since nothing is definite, I really don't want to mess with trying to
uninstall the printer, drivers, or update drivers, unless someone out
here knows for sure how I can identify. Can anyone shed some more light
on this?
Dell Dimension 2400/XP home, 256 ram, dial-up ISP, Lexmark "on in one"
X75 printer/scanner,fax). Being unable to connect to the interent
whenever the pC has been idle for 2 or more hours IS, and always has
been, the ONLY issue. Used the Lexmark on older computer, and installed
just fine when this was new. Is this a possibility? Thanks!
