Wireless limited connectivity after screensaver appears

Alright guys, I've narrowed the problem down to the screensaver. Whether it
be 1 hour or 1 minute, after the screensaver turns on I lose connectivity. It
simply will not resume when I try. The only option is to restart the laptop
but it takes about 5 minutes because for whatever reason it hangs on the
shutting down screen for several minutes.

Anyone any suggestions as to what is going on? Cheers!

It could be a software running that make the problem. Try clean boot. or The
following search result may help. Please post back with the result.

screen saver ... Are you certain that there are no other "sleep" issues
involved; that the screensaver is blameless? ...

Re: Wireless limited connectivity after screensaver appears

Hi, as far as I can tell it's only happening when the screensaver appears.
Even if just for a split second I lose connectivity. I've done several clean
boots (not because of this problem) and it happens every time. No other
programs running...
It's not a major problem, I have to turn the screen saver off but it'd be
nice to know what's causing it.

Re: Wireless limited connectivity after screensaver appears


Here I'm experiencing the same situation. The wifi link dies if the
screensaver or maybe the login screen shows. Otherwise, the link is
completely stable (12 hours and counting). I turned off DHCP but the
problem presists. It's XP with all the updates and so.
Any ideas?
TIA
Ariel
