Hi

I'm running XP pro, with a dsl connection to the net. The PC connects to a
Netgear firewall which then connects to an adsl modem. When my PC is
switched on I lose internet connectivity after a period of a couple of hours
of inactivity. I can get it back by restarting the DNS client service.

Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

No, that does not make a difference. All other software that uses maned
servers rather than straight IP addressess fails also. No IM, No Outlook
express, No Firefox, No IE, No news ticker toolbar. All these things regain
their connectivity if I restart the DNS client service (this service is not
stopped by the way, but a restart makes it work again)

Cheers
Justin
 
what do you mean by dsl connection to the net...etc
How did you setup the network / internet connection?
I use Local area network pointing the dns to the router which of couse was
made the dhcp server... In other wrod I don't make the pc as sharing
internet
 
Have a look in device manager..right click your NIC..properties and on the
power management tab make sure "Allow the computer to turn off this device
to save power" is not checked.
