I have the weird problem that my Vista Home Premium loses its access to the
internet after a certain amount of time. Sometimes after 3 hours, sometimes
after 5 hours or even after only 30 minutes I am not able anymore to surf
with any browser. I always get connection errors in every browser. Strange
thing is: According to my neworking center in vista the PC is connected to
the internet and I am able to ping IPs and websites with 'cmd' successfully.
ICQ runs successfully. Only browsing does not work. I tried many things like
deactivating the LAN adapter and reenabling and things like that. Nothing
helps. This problems appears with a LAN connection, with a WLAN connection
and on every router I connect to. The only way to get things working is
rebooting the PC. So I think it is not the fault of a certain driver. In
German forums there were people with exactly the same problem but no one knew
a solution. Can anybody help me?

Hi. Windows might be turning off the network adapter to save power. Turn off
the power-saving option in the network adapter's properties (wired network
adapters only):

1. Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking
Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing
Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.

2. Right-click the connection, and then click Properties. If
you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password or provide confirmation.

3. On the Networking tab, click Configure.

4. On the Power Management tab, clear the Allow the computer to
turn off this device to save power check box, and then click OK.



Hope this helps. Thanks.

I already did that. Problem is that I have a connection to the internet.
I can ping every websit, Torrent, ICQ works fine but browsing does not work
anymore. It seems like HTTP is blocked and I don't know why.

I believe you are having the same problem as what is decribed in another
thread "Losing netowork regularly". I'm having the problem too. But it's not
as bad as yours. I lose connection every 1 to 3 days. There is no solution
yet and MS doesn't seem to have a clue either.
