I have XP Home, SMC router, SpeedTouch modem and a Realtek RTL8139 Ethernet
adaptor. I lose my "always on" connection about once a day. This has not
happened while I'm on the Internet, but after I have left the computer sitting
for a while and come back to it, sometimes overnight.
There is only one way to restore my connection, and that is to re-boot the
computer. Unless something else is going screwy, I have found this to be the
case after:
-Re-booting the modem, even after observing all status lights are correct.
-Re-booting the router
-Running "repair connection" from the Local Area Connection Status window.
I don't go through the exercises above every time, except to re-boot the
computer.
If anyone can shed some light on this little annoyance, it would be much
appreciated.
