24-Hour Internet
I have a fairly new Dell desktop stand-alone system with Vista Home
Premium. I don't use standby or sleep; when it is on, it's always full power. Usually, I shutdown once each day, but occasionally not. I've noticed that if the system is powered up for more than 24 hours or so, it will disconnect from the internet (AT&T DSL with a Speedstream 5100b modem). Is this behavior normal, perhaps security related? How can I reconnect to the internet without rebooting? Thanks, Brian.

24-Hour Internet
Hi
If you want to maintain live connection you have to install a Wireless Router between the Modem and the computer. By doing so the Connection would be always on regardless of the status of the computer. It is also a much safer way to use the Internet. http://www.ezlan.net/firewall.html http://www.ezlan.net/PPPOE.html http://www.ezlan.net/network/router.jpg Jack (MVP-Networking).

24-Hour Internet
Thanks, but that still doesn't answer my questions. I want to find out
if this is normal behavior with Vista. I had the same modem and ISP with XP, and didn't notice this behavior. Also, can I reestablish the internet connection without rebooting?
