Hi All,

A friend's T60 running XP that randomly disables it's wireless adapter. When I go into connections and right click on it, it shows itself being disabled. When I right click on it, and choose enable it says "Connection Failed!". Any ideas? To fix it we have to reboot. I'm going to try and have her update the drivers ... once we get her back on ...

Thanks, Mark

No I don't think so, at least not while I've been there, I don't think the reboot would reactivate it would it?

Try this:

My Computer > Right Click Properties > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Right click Properties on the network > Power Management > uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
