Network connection lost when PC is idle for long period
My PC is a modern one (built the start of this year) and has an onboard
Intel 82556DM-2 network card which has the latest driver installed, version 9.8.20. The network works as normal all of the time when the PC is being used, but after the PC has been idling for a long period (it automatically locks after 20 minutes), the network will appear to lose some level of connectivity to the server, Usually what happens is that my redirected Documents folder, which is pointed to a folder on the server, will "disappear" (can't save to it) and the other shares on the server will become inaccessible (e,g, Homes share which is accessible to everyone). WHen that happens I have to restart my PC to regain access. I have checked for settings to do with turning the adapter off to save power, all those settings are disabled but it still happens. --
