Hi guys, I hope this isn't something totally obvious so here it goes:

I've got an X61 with T7500 and the standard Intel ABG wireless. I reinstalled WinXP and got all the right drivers off Lenovo.

The problem is WiFi shuts itself off if not active for a couple oof minutes. I tried a couple things, like disabling the WiFi power management in device manager, and disabling PC bus power management in Power Manager. None seem to help.

Any solutions? It's really annoying, as I have to constantly re-start to wake the WiFi.

thanks!

double click wireless icon
click properties
click configure
click power mgmt tab
uncheck "Allow comp to turn off to save power"

Thanks a lot watchtower! Problem solved.

For some reason I went through all the settings except that one...
