losing wirless connection when switching off
on, the connection between my laptop and my computer is gone. The icons are in the system tray, I am sending packets but not receiving. The only way to get my connection running again is to open my connections folder open propeties on my internet connection, untick the share internet connection, retick it then dis-connect and then re-connect and it works fine all day.

Just for fun, do the start/Turn off computer/power off when shutting down.. From what you say it sounds like standby/hibernate. On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 01:52:00 -0800, Peter Pan

That is exactly what happens when you go into standby/hibernate mode, rather than actual power off. Sounds like you are hitting the power switch to power off, but your system power settings that tell it to "hit power switch to go into standby/hibernate mode"... Computers are wierd.. You actually have to do the "start" etc sequence to Stop... go figger.... :) Your laptop will automatically connect to the network when you reboot UNLESS you have an unsecured network, in which case it will wait with a warning (basically the warning says, you are about to connect to an unsecured network. Do you want to continue" in which case you have to check a checkbox saying "continue anyway". Peter Pan <PeterPanNOSPAM@akamailnospam.com> wrote:

I agree that it sounds like this is a hibernate and not a shutdown. > Your laptop will automatically connect to the network when you reboot WinXP-SP2 changes that the first time you connect.

I bet the computer goes off when you turn the computer off too.

Make sure it isn't plugged in, and go on vacation for a week or so.. when you come back it will reboot. On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 23:20:57 +1000, Barry OGrady <n**@this.add> wrote:

There are known problems in WinXP with> on, the connection between my laptop and my computer is gone. The icons standby/hibernate taht are fixed by applying service pack 2. This sounds like a hibernate rather than a full shutdown. I usually suspend my laptop. After some length of time, it hibernates. With WinXP SP2, the WiFi reconnects nicely. I rarely shutdown or reboot. -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8,-122.5
