ok my laptop is a dell 1501 running on vista
i have broadband..when i click "connect to" theres "btvoyager" under wireless connections and "broadband connection" under dial up and vpn. i need to connect to both for my internet to work.
anyways every now and then after leaving my internet connected for 10 or so hours it stops working and when i go to status of the "broadband connection" it says something about limited connectivity.
for the past week this has been happening about 15 mins after i load up my laptop, the only way to connect again is to restart my laptop (ive tried diagnosing/repairing the problem on both btvoyager and broadbandconnection, ive tried disconnecting from both and reconnecting, and other things
the only firewall i have is the windows firewall,ive tried disabling it but it doesnt make any difference
any help appreciated
