Guest Charlie5 Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I have DSL from ATT. I must of changed something by mistake and now after a few hours of use, after a reboot, the systray will get a icon that is for connection disconnected. It appears in "Network Connections, LAN or high speed internet. Local area connection 8 disconnected. Firewalled Realtek RTL839 Family PCI Fast Ethernet ". I do not have a network and assume that this still needs to be in Network Connections? That is the item that gets disconnected and of course I can do nothing but reboot and start the process all over again. Seems like it is on a timer or I do something that activates the disconnect? Can someone advise what I should check and correct? Thanks. -- Charlie5
Guest sgopus Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 RE: Internet connection times out? if you have Zonealarm as a firewall you need to mark the internet connector as safe zone, else it won't connect to refresh DHCP and thereby times out.

Guest nass Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 RE: Internet connection times out? Adding to Sgopus advise, try to check your Power option for the NIC from the Device manager expand the Network Adapter to locate your NIC, right click it or highlight it then click the properties button. On the NIC properties click on Power management and make sure the Computer not configured to turn this Device for power saving.

Guest Charlie5 Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 RE: Internet connection times out? I do believe I hae ZoneAlarm from ATT ,but today I don't know where to find it to see if it is marked safe zone.

Guest Charlie5 Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 RE: Internet connection times out? I assume you mean the power setting in network connections for the Realtex rtl839 and I remove the check on the setting the device turn off by it's self. Will reboot and see if the connection times out again. -- Charlie5 "nass" wrote: > > Adding to Sgopus advise, try to check your Power option for the NIC from the > Device manager expand the Network Adapter to locate your NIC, right click it > or highlight it then click the properties button. > On the NIC properties click on Power management and make sure the Computer > not configured to turn this Device for power saving. > HTH. > nass > > "sgopus" wrote: > > > if you have Zonealarm as a firewall you need to mark the internet connector > > as safe zone, else it won't connect to refresh DHCP and thereby times out. > > > > "Charlie5" wrote: > > > > > I have DSL from ATT.

Guest Charlie5 Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 RE: Internet connection times out? Correction, I use to have Zoen Alarm with the old ISP. I have a anti virus and anti-spyware with aTT now.

Guest nass Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 RE: Internet connection times out? Open ZA Control panel click on Program control >> Look in the right pane/window make sure you click on programs Tab beside Main. There you will find these headers: Programs v | Access | Server Locate your Connection /NIC then under access right click Under each: Trusted and select the Green Check Mark for allow, then under internet Make the same selection. BTW, yes I meant Power settings. HTH. nass "Charlie5" wrote: > I do believe I hae ZoneAlarm from ATT ,but today I don't know where to find > it to see if it is marked safe zone.

Guest sgopus Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 RE: Internet connection times out? NIC, Network interface card, (not your modem), used for cable and DSL connections to the internet also known as ethernet card. it has one plug in connection similar to the phone plug (slighty larger) as opposed to the modem which has two plug ins.
