Peer-to-Peer w/less nwork - keeps needing to be reset

Apr 18, 2005 5 Replies

Got a desktop PC with a cheap PCI wireless card and a Dell laptop with (I assume) a decent built in card. Both are set up and peer-to-peer and appear to work fine at home. Great signal no problems..



Trouble is from one day to the next the wireless connection does'nt work. I need to go to the desktop and disable/enable the wireless card for it to work again. Sometimes I need to reboot the actual PC.



Bit of pain or what???



Any ideas ?


Hmm. We're talking USB connected BT Voyager ADSL modem here.

Do you have your system power settings set to hibernate/standby/etc? Go to control panel, power settings, and set it all to never turn off. (you can still let the screen saver run, but NOT any of the power off after xx hours).

Good point. I'll try that..

Settings are all NEVER. Any ,ore ideas ?
