Connection Keeps Dropping and Network Discovery turns itself off
Hi All,
My connection keeps dropping every once in a while and my computer keeps turning off network discovery. I'm not sure that the two events are linked but it smells kind of fishy to me. On an IT colleague's suggestion I tried disabling the uPnP setting on my router although this doesn't seem to have helped. The dodgy connection I thought might be due to the microfilters but I'm not convinced it's them either as it only happens with one computer on my network. Any suggestions? Thanks |

This issue could be caused by the Public network type or security software.
Suggestions 1. check the network type. 2. try clean boot. Or check this post: Vista keeps losing network - http://www.chicagotech.net/netforums...php?f=1&t=8370 -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Endulini" wrote in message ...

Connection Keeps Dropping and Network Discovery turns itself off
I have seen this with wireless Vista units from many manufacturers, both 32
and 64 bit. In my sad experience one Vista wireless unit will drop its connection to the router and nothing short of rebooting the router solves the problem. In the meanwhile a mix of wired/wireless XP and Vista units are networking seamlessly through the router. Good luck. |
