automatic disconnect

[Anna Beth Kozusko]

I have a Compaq Presario laptop. Every time I close the monitor, it automatically disconnects my wireless connection. How can I change this to remain connected at all times?

hi anna,

once u have choosen to close the screen which should activate the standby button.

u may refer to the Power Options in Control Panel if there r any properties not to do so.

regards.

This is an answer I gave on a very similar issue.

Run desk.cpl
Screen Saver tab | click on Energy
Advanced Options, you'll see a frame asking you what to do when you close the case of your laptop.
check that out.

hope it helps.

YOu can also adjust the advanced properties of the network card (in the network control panel) so that "power save" is disabled.
