Try this: set your power settings to NEVER turn off. This includes monitor, standby, even screen saver. Make sure the screen is always on, let it sit for a few hours and see if it gets disabled then.

I noticed the power saving mode on the USB devices before and turned that off. I think my power settings mode is on never turn off, but I can look at those settings and make that change if necessary.

Hit "Windows key + R" type cmd and hit Enter.

Then type ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew

Doesn't Windows do this when you click Repair the Wireless Network Connection? There are times where I click on repair, it goes through the motions, says it's connected, then I can't access the internet...

I have a Linksys wireless router in my basement and 2 laptops (Dell, Omnibook) along with my desktop pc. For a while I was also having problems with the desktop losing Internet connection but the laptops worked just fine. Honestly, after trying several suggestions, all I did was reposition the wireless router a few feet away and I haven't run into any issues since.

Basically, but I like to go through the command prompt because it seems to work better for me.
