Nerwin Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Alright so heres the problem, I been trying to figure this problem out for a while and maybe its right in front of me, but here we go.So when me or my dad shuts the laptop screen, it will go into standby and when it starts back up the wireless never connects most of the time. It will come up with the little "!" in a triangle and in order to get online I gotta click Repair or do the ipconfig /release and ipconfig / renew. I'm just getting sick of doing this every single time.So i'm just wondering if there was something I can do that will fix this once in for all.Thanks Guys- Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 A lot of people have problems with this type of thing. Have you checked the Power Management options of the NIC in Device Manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerwin Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well I looked into this and done everything those webpages said to do, and not that they don't work, its just those options I don't seem to have for some reason. Since I am using a wireless card in this laptop.But it sucks repairing it over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I wish I could help more. I actually don't like wireless and I don't even use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerwin Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yeah lol, But for a laptop its useful. So It kind of sucks :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesurfer Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 i have this problem occasionally. all you can do is repair and not let it bug you too much, cause there are bigger problems in the OS than this - like the darn standby issues!!!

Nerwin Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm thinking to just disable the standby option because this laptop battery is dead and right now I am just having it plugged in instead of using the battery. Atleast I can do this until I get a new battery for it.I don't know what else to do, besides it has never done this before, maybe its caused of SP3 or low about of memory? Not 100 percent sure, But this **** laptop only has 512mb and so I got 1 gig of ram for it and using a 256 to make it 1.25gb.Atleast it will be faster now.Anyways, Thanks for the help guys! Atleast we tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
