*Sigh* Vista Networking

[Scottland]

Yes, yes, yes; another Vista thread. Sorry

This is a Vista specific question, rather than a networking one.

This is the Vista Networking Centre, when my ADSL connection drops - which it frequently does - I get a red cross between Network and Internet.
If I repair the connection, it works fine.

However, in XP, I don't have to do any of this. When the router reconnects the internet is back up, simple as that.

Is there a way I can tell Vista to do this? It's becoming rather tiresome

I have noticed this too, not found a solution yet.

Same here - when I put the computer to sleep, it never regains its network connection on wake. I have to manually repair the connection. What a pain in the bum.

Well i thought it would be a driver issue for me but obviosuly not if others are getting the same sort of issues. Guess we might be seeing some patches from Microsoft not too long after the official release date lol.

 

[benjo plz.]

Set the ip of the pc and the dns, gateway etc statically.

Mine just loses that part of the connection all the time. Have to reboot to get it back. I'm using RC2 but this problem has been in every beta so far for me so it's putting me off the finished product slightly.
