    Hi, newbie here. I deleted Bonjour and now I have to reboot every 20 minutes or so to get an internet connection. I'm hard wired to a netgear router. I'm running XP home on an HP desktop. I reinstalled Bonjour but it didn't help. I still lose connection after a while. It says I'm still connected when I open networking so I don't know what's happening. Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Mike
    PS My other PC is wireless and has no problems staying connected

    Check your network adapter properties in Device Manager.
    Look in the Power management tab and make sure the "Allow the computer to save power" is unchecked.
    By the way, Welcome to MGs.
