well unfortunatly this pc came vista build.. purty n all but has massive buggage...

i thought it was my cable modem or router
id come back to my pc after 5 hours or so to find that it dc'ed but the others on my network were not..... id reset the modem and router .. but that wouldnt always fix it
i even setup a macro to wave my cursor around a bit...
so.. im thinking that vista must have some timeout security feature... so if any1 knows which direction to point me in or a patch i can install.. plz lemme know.. thank u

Does your Vista use wireless? I've noticed that my Vista gets rapidly disconnected when I'm doing a lot of online activity over wireless. Seems to be fine when I manually plug the laptop in to the router/modem.
