I have a Toshiba Laptop running Vista and a Dell with Xp on a wireless network . A Brother MFC 6490CW is also connected over wlan. Everything works great when I start Vista, but after 10-15 min, Vista forgets both the XP machine and the wireless printer. If you log out and back in, or reboot everything is there again...for 10-15 minutes. What did I do wrong??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- andi5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andi5's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/84735.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...rk/1146779.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Hi
Make sure that the Wireless cards are set to get out of Sleep on Network traffic (or disable their Power Saving state). Also give the network Printer a static IP so it is always in the same Network address. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "andi5" wrote in message ...
