Every time I shut off, hibernate or put my laptop to sleep it turns off the
fire wall and so i'm having to continually turn it back on again every time i
use it - I have no other fire wall programme on the laptop.

Please help!

In the Start Search box of the Start Menu, type services.msc. Is the
Windows Firewall service set to be Automatic at startup?

In the Start Menu type devmgmt.msc, and open Device Manager. On the View
tab, choose "Devices by connection" and put a check next to "Show hidden
devices". Look for Windows Firewall Authorization Driver (it will have a
gold gear icon). Double-click that, and on the Driver tab, make sure the
Startup type is set to "Demand".

Right, I've got to the 'sevices' window but i don't have a view tab or
anything where i can choose 'show hidden devices'. The only tabs are
'extended' and 'standard' and the only mention of 'view' is on the top menu
and doesn't have the required option.

Windows firewall shows with a blue gear wheel (so i assume its not the right
one), when i go into it it gives start up options of 'automatic' (which it
was already set to), automatic (delayed start), manual and disabled - no
option for for 'demand'

Your Services setting looks to be fine. You can close that window. The
second thing I was talking about is a different console, called devmgmt.msc,
or Device Manager. This where you'll find View in the menu.

sorry, my bad, it's still doing it - also noticed that the firewall turns off
every time the wireless internet connection drops off
