Internet Connection Loss

Hi All,

Just upgraded to vista Premium on the whole not bad. I think I have a little
quirk though...

I have a webstar broadband connection which seems to connect ok.. however if
the computer is left on and goes to sleep, then I wake it up, windows cannot
seem to reconnect to the internet.

It throws up the dial in connection, gets to Wan miniport (PPOE) fails with
an 815 error code? If I log out and restart it will do this again, however I
hit explorer and I can connect to internet.

Anyone come across this with broadband boxes?

Try to setup "Allow windows to turn this off to save power". This link may help,

Well for now I have turned the power saving off...as this is for home use and
only likely to be on whilst in use No real need for power saving of any kind.

Cheers for the advice Rob.
