Ad Hoc network. even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

I'm living in a college dorm and only have access to the internet via a hard line to my computer. So I wanted to give my other accessibility of consumer electronics set up an Ad-Hoc network and share the internet connection. When I originally set up the network it works fine, but after the devices go to sleep or I leave the room it stops working. I had problems to keep the internet connection to share continually, which I fixed it. I then had a DHCP problem with the hard line that has been resolved through troubleshooting function. Now, even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

Is there a way to create an Ad Hoc network that works similar to a wireless router, so when my computer is turned, it works automatically? If so, how can I make this happen without these problems?

Hello

I suggest to activate temporarily the antivirus as well as windows firewall and check if it helps.

Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hi Raven,

    Do you have third-party security programs installed on the computer?

    Basically, if the internet works in safe mode and not works in normal mode, not applications or third-party security programs can be in conflict with the drivers from the internet.

    As a solution, I suggest to uninstall the anti-virus program and check if it works in normal mode.

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    When I turn on my computer, a blue screen appears and remains.  The boot sequence does not turn on and the computer shuts off after a minute or two.

    Hit the ESC key after that market puts me at the page 'option '.  'Advanced options', I tried "System Restore" and "Startup Repair" or solved the problem.  Failed to start in safe mode or change the boot settings because the sequence of starting (reboot) the system is broken.
