Network Computers Losing Connection After Going To Sleep
Jun 15, 2011
I have three computers on my network. Two are wired and one is wireless. I continually run into the probably of getting a limited connection after the computer goes to sleep and I wake it up. I attempt to automatically correct it, but this doesn't work. I try to use the command prompt with ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew and it doesn't work. Then I try to disconnect the adapter and it doesn't work. I also reset the modem and the router with no resolve. Most of the time the only thing that works is restarting the computer. In addition I do use DHCP static addresses for the computers on the network. What is causing this and how do I fixt it without restarting the computer?
we have been having problems with our wireless internet connection for a while now and have even changed provider without success. What happens is that all our computers lose the internet connection from one moment to the next while the signal strength remains unchanged. when you try to sign back into the home network it is basically impossible. When rebooting the BT router it works, sometimes for a few moments only sometimes it lasts.I am wondering if the reason is that the computers are losing their ip address or has it something to do with the security key?
I have a Win 7 laptop which keeps dropping its network connection. I have changed the power management option on the network card so it can't turn itself off, but it still goes to sleep after a certain amount of time.I've also tried with a different docking station and network cable in case that was an issue, but the same thing happens. Event viewer does not reveal the cause of the drops.
I have an Acer 7750G, running Windows 7,connected to our home network using a Dynex router. At the moment this is the only laptop in the house that is having problems with connectivity. Starting yesterday, it only connects intermittently. When I run diagnostics, it says the following problems have been fixed but it either solves the problem for a few minutes only or not at all: "Problem with wireless adapter or access point" or "Default gateway is not available".
IPV6 connectivity also shows 'no internet access' and sometimes IPV4 reports no internet. I've unplugged and rebooted the modem and router a few times but that hasn't solved the problem.
Edit: I ran troubleshoot again, and it says the following issue is not fixed: "Wireless Network Connection 2 does not have a valid IP configuration".
I have a problem with my home network (diagram attached below). I sporadically lose connection between my Router and the devices behind the switch. I have replaced the Ethernet cable between the 2 so I don't think the problem's there. It will work for a week or so, then just lose the connection. I then try a combination of rebooting all of the devices on the network and/or unplugging and re-plugging the cable connections and sometimes that works. It's a relatively new router, but can a router be "underpowered" for pushing a signa
I have 2 older xp pro tough books that connect to my domain via a pair of versa vx 400 access points. automobile technicians use these computers to communicate with cars via a separate wireless card and WiFi device (SPX MVXI) that broadcasts a wireless signal.they always connect just fine to the network but sometimes they drop there connection and don't rejoin which screws up my scheduled tasks (nightly upload). They will reacquire the connection every time if i select it again manually in the windows wireless config.here is what I have done so far
1. set up exclusion range in DHCP distribution on my DC
2. set the laptops up with static IP's within the exclusion range.
3. configured the laptops to auto connect to the network even when its not broadcasting
4. set the access points on channel 7, and the devices on 1 and 11.
I have done a lot of research on this issue, a rep from versa told me that Intel proset wireless isn't very compatible with there product which i this is BS since it does the same with with the netgear WiFi PC cards.
I am having a very frustrating problem with my new Dell XPS 8500's wireless connection - Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz). Basically, I am losing my network connection every couple of minutes. The process goes something like this:
1) Not connected - Connections are available
2) My network disappears completely (yet all other local networks are still visible) for a matter of seconds then reappears
3) I try to connect and receive "Windows was unable to connect"
4) I press "Troubleshoot problems"
5) "Resolving problems", "Resetting network adapter", "Troubleshooting has completed"
6) Problem with wireless adapter or access point - Fixed
7) I am reconnected to the network/internet with a full 5 bars
8) Process repeats itself five minutes later
I have been able to come to a conclusion that is not the adapter, or the router, but some sort of compatibility issue as:
a) I have tried connecting to a different wireless network and it has worked fine
b) There are other systems in the household that connect to the network and are not experiencing the same issue
It is not a distance issue as router is 2 meters away from the adapter with nothing in between, the other systems that use the network are much further away.
What I have tried so far: - Changing the channel from "Auto" to a set number
I have a small business environment that uses a domain controller and supports about 50+ PCs. Starting this morning multiple computers have lost their ability to obtain an IP address. We have rebooted our domain controller and tried various fixes on local machines with no luck.
We are running Sharepoint 2007(sp3 and wss sp3) on a dell pe2950 running Server 2003 std x64 sp2, 4 146gb 15k sas raid 10, 16gb ram, dual xeon 516 3ghz. the network card is a quad port intel 1gb pci-x server nic. Was running broadcom net xtreme dual port onboard, and had the same issue.
We are losing partial network connection, after about 14-15 hours of the machine working correctly. What happens is that it cannot ping, or access, any machines not on the same network segment(this machine is on 192.168.3.* and cannot access machines, or be accessed from 192.168.2.*, 192.168.4.*, etc, etc). what i have found is that when i try to ping 192.168.2.210(our dns, dhcp server). its times out about 20 times and replies 2-3 times, and then repeats the cycle all over again. i have done a winsock reset on the machine, and sometimes it starts back up and works again, sometimes it doesn't.
i have a Dell Inspiron 1440 notebook and it keeps either shutting off the wifi or losing the connection to the network i have replaced the WiFi card with a new one and tried a couple of other settings and it did great for a week and now its doing it again and also it doe's not go to sleep when you close the lid and i have it set to do that .
I have an Inspiron 1520 which, approximately once per day, is losing the network connection. Basically I can be right in the middle of something then all of a sudden anything internet related (eg browser, email, skype, other software) stops working, and then a few seconds later the little globe disappears from my network icon at the bottom of my screen.
The only way to get my connection back is to reboot my computer. I've tried the "repair connection" tool, but that doesn't work. I've tried waiting, but that is futile (and impractical)
This happens whether I am directly attached to the router via cable, or I am going through wireless.
Other devices are unaffected at the time. It is only my computer that loses the connection. The two phones, two other laptops, desktop and tablet all remain connected. (Hmmm - I seem to have far too many devices!)
Do I have a failing part? Or is this maybe a software issue? I'm thinking perhaps it is software because after a reboot everything returns to normal and the problem tends to go away for 24 hours or so.
My mother's ISP is an AT&T DSL connection. She just had her PC connected directly to her modem for several years, so I eventually got her a router so when her kids and grand kids came to visit they could use wifi. It was a very basic and inexpensive Belkin model, but I don't recall the model number. The problem was the Internet connection would become inactive every time the desktop PC that was connected to router via Ethernet would go to sleep. The only way to get the Internet connection back was to wake up the desk top PC. I checked all of the router settings, googled to see if I could find similar problems, etc... and never could fix it; so I eventually set up my trusty old wrt54g at her house. It worked fine in my home for years; and when I set it up at her house, it still had all of my original network settings in it. I just changed the network name and password.But the same issue is still there. Every time the desktop PC goes to sleep... The router loses Internet connection and does not get it back until the desk top is made active again
I am able to go in only one direction between the two computers on my Network. The Acer Netbook computer can access the Toshiba Laptop, but the reverse is not possible. Both computers run Windows Vista Basic and Windows Firewall. I can ping the Acer from the Toshiba, but when I try to copy a file it says I do not have permission.
I have TP Link TL-WR740N , Firmware Version: 3.12.11 Build 110915 Rel.40896n . All working fine , but one problem whan I put my PC to sleep mode , and roter stay working , after when I awake PC it lost connection with router !
Currently using a netgear WG602 wireless router which i use to connect to my 2nd PC and Iphone, with the Netgear router running from my main PC.I have recently been having trouble with my 2nd PC ad Iphone randomly losing connection and the only way for the connection to be reastablished is to reboot the wireless router. Once rebooted i am able to connect again to the internet with no problems, interestingly enough my main PC never loses connection. Also sometimes when i lose my connection and reboot the wireless router i will have a IP conflict pop up on my 2nd PC however i would i say i get this once in every 10 dissconects and not all the time. Sometimes i won't dissconect at all in a day but sometimes i may dissconect 5-6 times.
My company just assumed management of a remote entity. The network has several misconfigurations and I need to make some network modifications from my office w/o losing access or incurring lengthy outage to the clients. The network consists of 1721 router and three 2960 switches.
- I only have access to the router from the Internet. I telnet off the router to the 3 switches.
The site uses a single class C 192.168.1.0 / 24. The router is running RIPv2 even though this is the only network. The prior network person (contractor) set up separate native vlans on each switch and all the ports are defined as Native trunk and access are defined to the VLAN interface assigned to the switch. So of course the logs are flooded with Native VLAN mismatch, Each 2960 switch is a VTP server but has no VTP domain.
basic network layout:
Internet => Eth [Cisco 1721] => Fa 0 192.168.1.254 ==> [SW1] [SW1] interface Vlan1 no ip address no ip route-cache!interface Vlan220ip address 192.168.1.219 255.255.255.0no ip route-cache
[code]....
!interface GigabitEthernet0/1description SW2 Gi0/1switchport access vlan 204switchport trunk native vlan 204!interface GigabitEthernet0/2switchport access vlan 204switchport trunk native vlan 204!interface Vlan1no ip addressno ip route-cache!interface Vlan204ip address 192.168.1.224 255.255.255.0no ip route-cache Normally, I would assign the current 192.168.1.254 to a subinterface to Router Fe 0/0 but with each switch having its own native VLAN I am afraid I will lose connectivity to the downstream switches -- my only access is telnet off the Cisco1721 Router.
My laptop is an Inspiron N5010 running the standard Windows 7 64bit. When returning from sleep/hibernate, the internet wont connect automatically. And there is a little red cross over the Internet access icon in the bottom left.After I click to connect to the network it still cannot make the connection. And a yellow '!'' appears over the icon. After I click 'Troubleshoot problems" it will make connection though it can take a minute till its up.
I have checked the option to automatically connect to the network in range. And this used to work fine, but somehow it doesnt work correctly anymore.I have the latest bios and network drivers already.
i want to setup a remote desktop connection for 3 computers on the same network to connect to remotely. Originally i was going to port forward the original windows RDP port and run the windows rdp service but learnt that XP Home Edition doesn't support this feature. I want to be able to log onto these computers at any time remotely with the need of accessing the computer before i connect.
I have a CISCO Linksys WRT610N router on my home network which consists of the following 4 computers; Windows Small Business Server 2003, one Windows 7 Ultimate and two Windows XP Professional. How to configure a VPN on the WRT610N router that would allow me to access all of the computers on my home network over the Internet using the "Remote Desktop Connection" component.
I use a WUMC710 bridge with desktop PC and a Printer connected to it. When those two devices have been inactive for a while the bridge goes into sleep mode and loses the connection Back to my EA6500. Trying to print something from wireless devices connected to the 6500 elsewhere in the network doesn't "wake up" the bridge. Ihave to unplug the power supply and restart it.
I have a Dell E4300 with a 1510 wireless mini adapter running windows 7 pro with a netgear WNR3500 router running wireless N protocol. I have my laptop setup to sleep when lid is closed. When it awakens the wireless connection will not automatically reconnect and I have to manually select the SSID and connect. It will also reconnect if I use the network troubleshooter. The problem does not happen if I reboot the PC or start from a power off situation. I have the latest Dell driver and I am running the DWLAN utility.
I have 2 Laptops connected wirelessly, 1 Vista, the other Windows 7. The Vista laptop seems to be dropping the connection,when I look at 'Network & Sharing Centre on the Vista laptop, it's telling me signal strength excellent but with a red cross indicating there is a break between me and the internet. HOWEVER, the windows 7 laptop (on it now) is working perfectly OK!!
What could b the issue with my internet connection i keep losing the connection every few minutes if im idol on sites not games related i stay connected when i go onto games i start losing the connection. [code]
I recently moved to a new location and my wireless internet disconnects, literally every minute. My roommate never has any issues with his wireless connection, and this is the first time I've had connection issues with this laptop.The provider is Comcast and it runs through a hard wired/wireless modem (no antennas). Our connection is encrypted. My signal strength is always excellent, but still briefly disconnects with a continuous cycle, as it automatically reconnects.
I have att dsl and im using a linksys wireless router and lately my interenet keeps disconnecting. Specifically the little wireless icon in the bottom right of my windows 7 display gets a yellow exclamation mark for about 10-30 seconds then recconects. Its quite annoying and seems to be happening more often now. I have a strange setup on the router, i think its running in bridge mode or something and the modem is doing the actual routing.
mother in law laptop and poor signal. Called d link reset and changed channel to 11. still same issue. oh have also now removed the desktop, was I required to do anything more on the new laptop that may be causing this?
Since upgrading to windows 8 a few days ago my router keeps dropping my connection every few minutes . 4 other pc's in the house are fine. Mine has a wooden floor for the signal to pass through, my wifes which is fine has two walls between her and the router.
my wifes laptop to working better for internet connectivity.Now my mother's is having similiar issues, constantly losing connection and what notI did a couple of scans using the programs that were recommended on that previous threadHere are the logs.
For the past 2 weeks i have been losing internet connection on my pc, ps3, laptops and phones every 15min and i have no clue what to do. It has never done anything like this.
I have remote access as I work at home on a government laptop that has Entrust( for security). My IP lapse time is set for 1 hour and every hour I am losing full connection due to having to sign back into Entrust. I need to be able to lenghten my lapse time on my work computer. My other two personal computers are fine with 1 hour as there is no Entrust on either of those laptops.....is it possible for me to change the lapse time to say 12 hours, 1 weeks, whatever??
Outlook keeps losing the connection to the PST file on the server. I then have to close outlook and restart then it works fine. But after a while when I have not looked at it, it loses the connection again and again. I can send and receive e-mail.
I have had this problem for ages now. Every thing will be going fine for large periods of time then randomly i will stop being able to access the internet.
I have tried pinging various things such as google.com, when i do i get a range of reposnes from no packets lost, to no repsose atall. the results from the latest google ping;
