Wireless problem

[biged143]

I have a T61 running XP Pro. Every time it goes on standby and sometimes while surfing I lose internet. Says I am connected to my network but it is limited. I right click and select repair and after it has completed I have internet again. I ran ThinkVantage and got all the updates but this is maddening!! None of my other laptops have this problem. Any ideas ? Thanks

If you installed a newer release of Access Connections that may reset original settings upon installation. Is there a chance that you've upgraded AC recently? One of the most common reasons for intermittent Wifi drop outs is an AC wireless setting (set it to high performance) or a Device Manager setting (set it to disable power savings). Also there is an AC setting for aggressive network discovery that can be toggled.

Thanks Bill I changed in DV from "ad hoc" to wireless internet then I changed it in powewr to not turn off. I will let you know how it behaves. Thanks again.
