Dear guys,

I have problem with the notebook Acer Travelmate 650 and Windows XP Pro.

The wireless network is disconnected quite often and it is not possible to
reconnect, until I sleep the system and wake it up again.

Have you and idea, where can be a problem/solution?

Thanks,

Martin

I use a Keep Alive utility, Keep it Alive 2.2 by Peili Chen, but I don't
think it's around anymore, there are many utilities to keep your
connection alive
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Network_and_Internet/Keep_Alive_Tools/popular1.html
so it seems a common problem, or there wouldn't be so many utilities.
Most work by pinging popular sites such as Google, MS, etc at a random
or preset interval.
Depending on the cause of your problem it's worth a try, but cure is
not 100% certain, it worked for me, I just set it to ping at
10 minue intervals.

You might want to open | Network Connections | right click on your wireless
adapter icon, and then click on properties, click on Configure... | Click on
the Power Management (tab) | and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off
this device to save power"
