When I'm not on my computer, the network disconnects, and I need to reboot Windows XP to run again.

original title: it is a boot sector virus

Please no one knows the answer?

I use MSE on XP. Have all implemented the automatic updates firewall that all fixed at a fairly high level of security, and to update and scan with MSE usually twice a day. When I'm not using the computer I disconnect the network and reconnect when then necessary safety precaution.

Sometimes, when I return to the computer is not found on the network, and the only way to restore the network connection is to re-boot. Then, I find it almost impossible to re-start as he died within 5 seconds after pressing the power button / stop. I tried holding the power button for a few seconds, but nothing helps I just keep on pushing sometimes for dozens of attempts and it stops automatically turn off the power. He intercepted not eventually if I keep on pressing him for dozens and dozens of attempts. It is?, is it a virus of a description, and if this is what and how is he riding in, on and why is MSE does not pick up.   I had similar situations where the IP address of my printer (Ricoh Aficio) has been changed, then turn off the printer and thrusting me on an audit of the laborious systems. ?.  Anyone has any ideas.

Thank you very much

Bob.

PS Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.

Of course, it sounds as if you use the power button on the computer case.  Otherwise, good.

I guess that until you're away from the computer, disconnect from the network.  Even if you don't have the computer off, disconnect is still excessive.  However, if you do this, Windows should not bother you that you describe.

During your absence, the computer go to sleep or Hibernate mode (if so, which) or have you configured it stays on indefinitely until you deliberately shut down?  If the computer is set to go into sleep or Hibernate mode after a certain period, you have the same problem reconnecting to the network if you return before the computer is spent in sleep mode or Hibernate mode?

You have Service Pack 3 and the subsequent critical updates installed (for example, you use automatic updates)?

The next time the problem occurs, open the event viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK) and look in the Application logs and system errors or warnings.  By default, when you open the log event viewer must be sorted with the most recent events at the top.  If not, click the title once (or twice) of the column to sort.  He can't go very far back to find questions.  If there is an error or a warning, double-click it to display the property page.  Then click on the copy icon (right underneath the up/down arrows).  Then paste in your response here.

You have your router configured to disable the SSID broadcast?  Even if it sometimes seems on Web sites for safety, it does not add to your safety really but creates network problems.  Do not disable the SSID broadcast, especially for Windows XP machines.  See http://blogs.technet.com/b/steriley/archive/2007/10/16/myth-vs-reality-wireless-ssids.aspx as this article points out, also not use MAC filtering in your router.

Another thing that might cause problems of reconnection (especially if you have your router's SSID broadcast disabled) is a connection to a nearby unsecured wireless network.  You should look through the list of preferred networks tab in wireless network your wireless adapter properties dialog box, and 'Delete' you don't want to connect to all networks.  To get here, open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK), right click on the wireless adapter and choose Properties.  Then go to the wireless networks tab.

Even if you have properties of the adapter wireless open dialog box, select your network from the list of preferred networks and click Properties. Then click on the tab 'connection '.  What is the box checked for automatically "connect if this network is in range"?

Finally, in regards to your printer, it is a recommended practice to configure devices like printers have a static IP address instead of the obtain an IP address from the DHCP server on the router.  As you have observed, in some circumstances (the printer is off for awhile), the router can assign a different IP address for the router than he had when you first set up the things.  Some wireless printer drivers (HP, for example) are smart enough to deal with this, but most is not.

Read the manual of your Ricoh printer to determine how to assign a static IP address.  Pick one that is in the same subnet (i.e., the first 3 bytes of the IP address are the same as your other IP addresses), but out of the interval used by the DHCP server on your router.  You can find this information from the router configuration utility.

For example, the DHCP server on my Linksys router is configured to assign not more 10 starting at 192.168.1.100 IP addresses.  Which means that the first computer to connect will get 192.168.1.100, the second 192.168.1.101 and so on.  So I configured my wireless printers to have a static IP address that is lower than, for example 192.168.1.50.

After you set up the printer, click Start > printers and faxes.  Right-click on your printer, and then select Properties.  Click the Ports tab.  Already, the correct port must be selected.  Click on Configure Port.  OK your way out and enter IP address static, that you assigned to the printer.
