problems with my internet.

bbrightlywound · 07-03-2009, 06:22 AM

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

hello have you tried, connect to. right click on btvoyager select properties. choose connection tab, tick the box that says always connect if in range..

hope this helps

have you tried updating you wireless network card drivers thru device manager?

start. type device manager > device manager > continue > click the plus sign next to network adaptors. right click the wireless adaptor to find mfg. go to the mfg website find the latest drivers.

good luck
