Networking stops working daily

Networking on my Vista computer stops working on a daily basis (DNS, VPN,
accessing local files on an XP machine).

Rebooting resolves the issue.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Michael

Are you using wireless?

No; Also, if I put the computer in sleep mode, after resuming, networking
sometimes works and sometimes does not work.

Most instances, I have to reboot after resuming.

Perhaps you should try to use power High Performance. Please post back with
the result.

I have the same problem and has been a problem for about 2 months
(since getting Vista). I have no problems with my networked XP
machines. I have tried telling the Marvell Yukon network card (built
into an ACER desktop PC) not to go to sleep all to no avail. I have
updated the drivers twice with no change. Is there a driver setting
that may help to resolve this problem or is this caused by Vista knows
best policy which Microsoft have crow barred in to the OS.

That appears to have done the trick.

Thanks.

Great! So this will stop, If I DONT use the OS to it's full capabilities?
Wonderful!

hi michael,
as a matter of fact i am using the endlessly nightmarish dial up service,
but i tried rebooting and this didnt eliminate the problem. also i recently
downloaded "incredimail" and it prompted me to configure my computer to use
"pop 3" whatever that is i dont know because unfortunately im 40 years old
and we didnt get computer training in mid school and high school like our
kids do and im obviously ignorant to computers otherwise i would have never
chose "high speed dial up service" by the way i currently use windows vista
(if that matters)
lol
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thank you michael for your input if any.

hi noddy,
i too have windows vista and what my computer repair guy did inform me about
vista is that it is an information magnet, meaning if it is virused it would
probably need to be triple stamped over in order for vista to stop being able
to read to virus even after deletion and it being quaran****ed. now im not
saying your virused but if you have downloaded something that requires a
different server type that may be your problem and your system may just need
to have added additional servers.
hope this helps
