I've fixed the internet connection problem

Thanks Steve. I spent 2 hours looking around but missed your post and just
put up one myself. Then saw yours and have given it a try. Will let you know.
Sure know how you felt.

Sure enough worked like a charm. I've been fighting that for over 2 months
restarting 15-20 times a day to reconnect.
Steve if you are ever in San Antonio, Texas Let me know. I owe you a dinner.

Well, I'm glad it worked for you too. It so much nicer to just surf along and
not be bothered with the dropped connection every 5-10 minutes, then wait for
it to connect again, which took my machine 1-3 minutes everytime. I dealt
with it for about 2 months also before I found the fix. Darn, I was just in
San Antonio on my way back to Denver from Rockport Texas. I could have used
that dinner! Oh well next time. Take care.

Hello. I manage the QoS team in core Windows networking and would like to
better understand your scenairo. Specifically, the QoS Packet Scheduler
should have nothing to do with this, as it will only ever be in the data path
when a QoS flow exists. The only way a QoS flow would exist is if you're
using an application which calls specific QoS APIs. Can you please describe
the complete end-to-end scenario? What applications are you using? When you
say "connection reset" what exactly does that mean? How do you realize that
it's been reset (what do you see, or what steps do you take to come to this
conclusion)? I'd love to work with folks who are experiencing this issue to
figure out if there is a bug somewhere in the stack.

Thanks!

Hello Gabe, I unchecked that Qos Packet Scheduler because I didn't know what
it was nor did I think I needed it. The trouble I and I'm sure others have
and have had with Vista is a dropped internet connection every 5 minutes or
so. I believe it's a communication thing between the OS and the ISP. I'm not
sure what is happening. I travel alot, and in some hotels I have no trouble
at all, in some I get (got) the dropped connection every five minutes or so,
with it trying to reconnect and taking 3-4 minutes to identify the ISP and
then the internet, or things like not being able to access HTTPS sites.
There's definitely a bug in Vista concerning this, and I'm disappointed MS
didn't find or work this out beforehand. I wish I wasn't using Vista as it's
a recurring problem, although I've worked around it best I could. Good luck.

I had this problem that was causing my router and cable modem to lose it's
internet connection on a repeated basis. I made this change as suggested and
it seems to have paid off.

One curious thing - this is the new Belkin N router, so Vista and it's
networking seems to be an issue for hardware manufacturers.

But I'm really glad some folks found the fix!!!! Microsoft I usually like
the products but this kind of crazy.

Hi

I tried this I still have the same problem. wireless connection drops after
an hour of inactivity and says local area connection only. It requires
reboot of the machine to restore the connection. I have also tried the other
recommend fixes of turning of the network power saving options.

Also try Microsoft update. Or this post may help,

Vista: Wireless local onlySome wireless NIC or router DHCP may be
incompatibilities with Vista. The Vista may be able to access local network
but the Internet and shows "Local only". ...
