Hi All,

I have a Dell inspiron 1300 which has an internal wireless card which is used for wireless broadband. I have a belkin 54g wireless router as well as another Dell laptop upstairs. Both laptops have got windows XP & have the latest AVG anti virus updates installed. The problem is as follows:

It connects to the internet perfectly fine with no problems at all but it disconnects for the Internet if I dont have a self refreshing website loaded such as betfair. If i have google up or similar after 5 minutes or so it kicks me off the Interest & i need to disconnect the router & reconnect again to get a connection. Ive heard stuff about zero windows config etc etc but I really dont know where to go from here. Im pretty sure its a config issue, i just dont know how to do it!

Any ideas?

Wireless zero is a Windows service that checks for better LAN signals. You can check it by <Start/Run> typing services.msc in the run box.

Also, check on your internet options, connections tab if the "disconnect if no longer needed" under connection settings is not checked.

in the services box that appears shall I switch off the zero config option. Its set to automatic under start up type?? I cannot find the option under connections which has a tick box that states if unused switch off the Internet? Thanks
