Whenever I leave my computers (1 desktop, 2 laptops) running but idle for an hour or more and then try to access the internet I have to reboot to get a connection. I am running XP on all machines and all have svc. pack 2. I am on a cable connection into a cable modem then into a Netgear router then into a lan card in the desktop. The laptops are wireless. On the laptops I get a message that they are connected at 54 mbps with an excellent signal. It is only when the browser and email software is closed that this happens. If I leave either or both programs open the connection stays connected. Any suggestions? I have tried so many things (too many to list) that at this point I would welcome all ideas and I will sort out the ones I have tried. Thanks folks for your help.
