Continually disconnected in Windows Vista wireless modem

Windows Vista has a feature that disconnects a wireless modem after an extended period of non-use?  Possibly for security.  I worked on a friends laptop, Dell Studio 1700, several times in the past months.  It has a Wireless Modem from Actiontec and whenever I can go and get it reconnected, but after a day or two when he tries to go back to the modem is no longer shows the light Internet and can not find the Internet.  I exceed again and reconnect but it continues to happen and it is easier for me to go and do it right, but it is true inconvenient.  If there is a function, how can I disable it?

cgperk... A little more information could help to answer the question.  It may be three things.  Your DHCP settings on the router (ie.modem) has a constraint of rental time.  Is the IP address in the TCP/IP Protocol have an address must be configured by DHCP from the router?  Finally, try to charge your providers DNS server address in the TCP/IP settings to resolve your internet address.

  • Wrong with Internet Windows Vista wireless

    Hello

    I have a basic E-Machines with Windows Vista Edition desktop computer. I have 3 GB of ram and 160 GB of hard drive. I own a Link Sys adapter wireless 802.11 G and 2.4 GHZ. My wireless router is a Fritz! Box WLAN 7112 (I'm stationed in Germany, so he is a German router). The Fritz! Case is compatible with Sys Link as he worked very well with any other computer that I put it in place. In addition, my router is working fine with my wireless Xbox 360, Zune HD and my Windows 7 laptop.

    My problem is that sometimes my internet disconnects. Sometimes I'll completely lose internet in total, while at other times, I'll get the sign "local only". I tried to disable the DHCP BROADCAST times manually and through Microsoft, they offer an automatic fix for this problem. However, just at the point where it seems as if the problem disappeared, he returned. Now, the internet is cutting at least twice an hour. So the internet to reconnect, I have to disconnect and reconnect my Sys Link adapter. Also, I thought it would be my adapter, so I've known a good and I tried it out, but I came up with the same question.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

  • Configure the xbox with windows vista wireless controller

    I recently bought a wireless Xbox 360 controller to use for playing mainly with Call of Duty 4 on my PC
    I followed all the instructions and have the wireless receiver but cannot operate at all which is extremely frustrating
    I have an install 32-bit windows vista Home premium
    Can someone please

    Hello Foxesfan1.

    First step would be to ensure that the controller is actually seen correctly by Windows.  I'll assume that you have already synced the controller and the wireless receiver by pressing the button on the receiver and the little one on top of the controller.

    To make sure that the controller is configured correctly in Windows start tying the game controllers in the box start the search on Windows 7, the option is called installation USB game controllers.  It could be called game controllers or something similar on Windows Vista, I have here in front of me to check.

    Anyway it should open a window called game controllers, the controller must be in there, in this case click Properties and check that all buttons work properly.

    If it is then its probably does not work because Call of Duty either is not setup in support of controllers (a ride in his options to enable the controllers support), or simply does not support at all, not all areas of PC games.

    Note:

    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must activate it 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.

    I apologize is not getting back to you earlier.

    When you download and install games and other you don't normally need to keep what you have downloaded in the downloads folder. Some downloads are wide to remove could free up some disk space! You need to do on a regular basis to keep on top of the problem...

    The content of your video in total 414 GB file. You might look at some of them again? If this is not the case, delete those that you no longer need.

    You have a lot of icons on the desktop. Take a look at these and remove those that you never use.

    When you did above select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  • Can I use my modem wifi re-large up my internet 64-bit of Windows Vista

    ##wifi

    My laptop has a wireless modem, my access to the internet through the LAN. can I use my modem wifi re-large up my internet, so my other computers can us the internet.  I guess what im saying is my card wifi as a hub.   im sorry new to this.

    I use win vista 64-bit
    Thank you

    Hey, I can't install Win7 64 bit...

    Let's get back to a productive tone. You can use the Wi - Fi card on your laptop to create a wireless network for other computers. It is to create an 'ad hoc' network. While going through the installation wizard you can choose to make the ad hoc network, permanent or not.

    Note: You can always remove/delete a permanent ad hoc network at a later date. The permanent setting will allow the ad hoc network to stay open even if no other computers/devices are connected on it.

    To set up the ad hoc network, please follow the steps 1 to 3 as described here:
    Set up a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network

    Once created the ad hoc network, you need to enable Internet connection sharing for the network. To enable Internet connection sharing, please read carefully the information / the steps here:
    Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)

    Note: In the long term, you will experience better performance/stability using a device dedicated to broadcast your network without wire (such as a wireless router). For any future reference the link below will allow you to check to see what hardware is compatible with Windows Vista, so that you can be sure that it will work properly with your computer:
    Windows Vista - wireless routers Compatibility Center

    Hope that helps.
