| | Internet Intermittently stops working I have this intermittent fault on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine. I have a Linksys Wireless USB adapter with Speedbooster. About once per day, with seemingly no trigger, my network connection will stop working. To be more precise, the network still registers as connected but i can access no network traffic, either internet or router settings. This can only be corrected by a system restart. I have tried -different networks -reinstalling the adapter -changing the USB port -disabling and reenabling the adapter -using the network troubleshoot deely to reset the connection Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Chris |

| | Re: Internet Intermittently stops working Cheers for the quick response. My power settings were on performance and the wireless adapter setting was set to maximum performance. USB wasnt set to sleep either. I don't think that resetting the power options will fix the problem but i reset it regardless. Any other ideas. cheers |

| | Re: Internet Intermittently stops working I'm having the exact same issue. Any attempts to rectify (such as using the "Diagnose and Repair" command) will cause the network dialogs to hang, and unable to even reboot successfully afterward. I have to manually turn off the power and reboot.

| | Re: Internet Intermittently stops working same adapter and same router? your issue sounds very different with the "unable to reboot successfully afterward". Please start a new thread and post all the details of your issue, and include all the details about your NIC, router, and system.

| | Re: Internet Intermittently stops working No, it is the same issue. It says it's still connected, but loses all connectivity. Only a full reboot, just like Chris, will resove it. I am, however, on an Intel ProWireless internal wifi card in my laptop.

| | Re: Internet Intermittently stops working Please get the latest driver from the Intel site. If you still have an issue, please start a NEW thread. Post the complete info on your router, make, model, hardware revision. Check for a firmware update as well. It is NOT the same issue.
