Hi,

I'm running a wireless router and network adaptor with windows xp
home. When I leave the PC for some time, my network connection has
been disabled when I return and I have to re-enable it.

Is there a way of keeping it enabled? The router stays connected ok.

Look at the network adapter's Properties from Device Manager (Control
Panel>System>Hardware). On the Power Management tab, uncheck "Allow
Windows to turn off this device when not in use" and see if that helps.

Thanks Malke, however this network adaptor doesn't have a power
management tab in device manager. The options are -
General-Advanced-Driver and Resources. No reference to power management
on it.
However, my cable adaptor does have power management listed as an
option and that worlks fine.

A clue maybe?
