Hi, I'm a computer idiot, so please bear with me. I have a PC and am having problems connecting to the internet. If I restart my computer, I can connect to Explorer just fine, but if I put my PC to sleep or if I am away from the internet for more than 20 minutes, I lose connection and cannot reconnect unless I shut down and restart.

Has anyone heard of this before?

Ken

Hello,

What version of windows are you using?
What type of internet connection are you getting (DSL, ADSL etc...)?
If you don't know what you connection type is let us know your internet providers name and we may get it from that.
Do you connect to the internet via a router?
Is the connection wired or wireless?
