Every time we shut the lid to the laptop (on accident or on purpose), upon
opening it we cannot use the wireless signal. Where there's usually a blue circle over the network icon, there's now an orange triangle with an exclamation point. It sees the signal, but won't connect all the way. I've tried powering on/off the wireless router turning off/on the wireless card turning off/on our modem ideas??? |

Visit the laptop mfg's website and see if they have an updated driver for
the wireless card. -- -- "davey1108" wrote in message ... Every time we shut the lid to the laptop (on accident or on purpose), upon opening it we cannot use the wireless signal.

Hi
Most Laptops are configured to put the computer into sleep when the cover is down. If the Wireless card goes to sleep, in many Laptop it is not waking up by itself. Look at the Advanced Power Options and adjust it so that the Wireless card will not go to sleep. http://www.ezlan.net/vista/vista-power-saving3.jpg Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
