...idle. Need some help, please.? Basically, my HP laptop that is currently running on XP is having a problem. Whenever its left idle for more than about fifteen minutes, it loses connection to the internet. Furthermore, when you try to reconnect the computer, it shows no networks in the Connection Manager, and I cannot get the computer to reconnect without restarting XP. Is there anyone who is familiar with this issue? Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?
