I've been playing with build 5536 for a week and didn't have this problem
until I changed the power management settings. I modified the 'Balanced'
plan, putting the system to sleep at a different interval, and changed to not
requiring a password on wakeup. After restoring the default settings for the
plan, the problem so far seems to have been fixed.

Me too- exactly as you describe. It does it every time, and requires a
system restart to correct. It seems definitely Vista related as my XP system
running on the same router bashes merrily on. It means that medium to large
size file downloads cannot happen. The fact that it happens so
systematically after the same time period of keyboard inactivity makes me
ask whether it is some power management or other control that need
adjusting.

I'm having identical issues, after running a fresh boot of build 5536.
For me it's not a few hours though... I think it's a security feature gone
bad.

When I leave the machine for about 20 or so minutes it disconnects the
network adapter, if I am continuosly using the computer, moving the mouse
and
such, the network adapter stays on.

I hope someone can help me with this....
my Network Adapter is a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
or I just pop in RC1.

Ever since the updates on Friday (31 Aug), my internet connection on my

machine dies after a few hours. If I restart, the connection will work
again,
but will die after a few hours again.

I have three computers on my home network (one Vista (main) and two XP
(wireless)). Neither of the other two systems will lose connections.

I don't know if the updates had anything to do with it, but I had no
connection problems before then, and I have not installed any new
programs.
