Wireless network stops workingMy wireless network works just fine when I turn on my machine or reboot, but
then stops connecting about 10 minutes to 1/2 hours afterward. The signal stength is always and everythings looks OK. I've tried reinstalling and updating the drivers, switching PCI ports, etc. Didn't help. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you!

Any other wi-fi networks nearby and using the same channel as you? If so, change the channel to a free one at your router. Did you install encryption? If not, do so. Someone within range may be causing this. Have you done a "Real Estate Agent" on the machine yet? That means looking at "Location, location, location"! Eg, is something nearby with a similar frequency such as the base station to a wireless phone set? Is there a microwave nearby? TV? Radio? Something else?

Perhaps you're using some generic Windows driver rather than the Intel driver, or perhaps you should (temporarily, if you like) switch to using the Intel configuration software instead of Windows WZC.

See User's Guides at >http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/pro2200bg/sb/cs-008179.htm wireless card and enabled intel management. i have v 9.0.0.1. ran their management softwate and went to TOOLS ADAPTER SETTINGS and got the exact same options as before...the only power option was the balance between power consumption and adapter performance. scanned the intel document and found nothing about keeping the card powered up at all times. so...i changed my system's power config to go to standby when the lid is closed. i closed the lid and waited several hours. when i opened the lid the intel connection icon showed that i was connected but i had no internet connectivity. had to re-boot to re-establish that. it's clear, to me anyway, that the issue is the LT going into standby mode. if i prevent that from happening then there are no connectivity issues. i don't often run the LT on battery so never going into standby mode isn't a hardship but i sure would like to solve this problem if for no other reason than to understand why this is happening. i appreciate your help. 73, rich, n9dko

From what you describe, it seems as if you may not be using the latest and greatest Intel software. For example, from the manual for v. 9.0 of the Intel ProSet Wireless User's guide: "Power Management: Allows you to select a balance between power consumption and adapter performance. The wireless adapter power settings slider sets a balance between the computer's power source and the battery." That sounds like what you described. You might get the desired result from pushing the slider all the way to max performance, but there doesn't seem to be any explicit setting to keep it on all the time. However, from the manual from v. 10, after the bit about the slider: Select a balance between power consumption and adapter performance. PSP - Power Saving Mode CAM - Constantly Awake Mode Select one of the Power Saving Mode levels: PSP CAM: The client adapter is powered up continuously. PSP Level 1: PSP set at maximum power. PSP Levels 2-4: PSP set to maximize power. PSP Level 5: PSP set to maximize battery life. PSP Auto: Default in PSP Level 6: Balances between power consumption and battery life. 73, Lem, ex-K2MHQ On Tue, 25 Jul 2006 11:26:58 -0400, Lem <lem***@hotmail.com> wrote:
