    God Damn Vista...

    Anyone know how to fix a problem with Vista Home Premium and it disconnecting from the wireless network every 30-60 mins? Other devices on the network are fine it's just fucking Vista.

    I had this problem with windows 7 ... it's usually the wrong driver... or an incompatible one... I just rolled back to an older driver to get that problem fixed. Best of luck that really sucks.

        ya that sounds like a driver issue not a Vista issue.

          this vista laptop is brand new and up to date with all the updates. The network is working flawlessly otherwise...

          The shit will work for a while perfectly but just shits the bed out of no where for whatever reason.

            I have the same mother fucking thing happening. In fact, my mouse will briefly disconnect and reconnect as well as the wireless dropping in and out. And it IS a Vista issue because all of my other XP machines using the same wireless card will NEVER drop the signal. Fuck me running.

              Solution: Vista's wifi power-save option

              Modify the settings accordingly and all will be well.

                            i think that is how Vista is supposed to work. AKA designed to fail.

                                Bzzt. Already tried that. I went in there again and even disabled the PCI power saving and I still have issues with the wireless dropping. I've monitored the power supply and it's solid across the board. I'm starting to think maybe the Intel mother board is twitching. Ugh.

                                      I agree...I HATE Vista! All the talk of "tuning" it really just means having to jump through a million hoops to turn off shit that they put in it that makes it unuseable.

                                      Anyway, I too went through the problem you're having.

                                      The problem is that Microsoft looked to the future (for once) and put TCP/IPv6 in Vistas networking. You're going to have to disable that and just use good old TCP/IPv4 because something glitches in there.

                                      Google up: "Disable TCP/IPv6 in Vista" and you'll find the way to do it.

                                          No, just because it only happens in Vista doesn't mean it's a "Vista" problem. The drivers for Vista should be different than XP, although not all the time. The networking in Vista was completely rewritten, so XP might work better because the drivers shouldn't be the same, especially for networking devices. If the drivers aren't different then whoever made the device probably sucks.

                                          When Vista first came out most creative audio cards had problems. They were causing random hissing, noise, crackling etc etc. Creative made a statement saying Vista brought out a ton of bugs that they now see in their drivers, and it's going to take a good amount of time to fix it. I'm sure they weren't the only ones who had problems, just the only ones willing to admit it's their fault.

                                          I swear if a tree fell on the power lines outside someones house using Vista they'd figure out someway to blame Vista for the outage.

                                          I've heard of a number of devices having the problem the OP's system is. Notice how I said it's the device with the problem not Vista. If some jackasses can't code a driver correctly for Vista it's not microsoft's fault.

                                          If it's brand new return it for one that works. You could also get a external wireless device, try them until you find one that doesn't disconnect you. There's some that connect via your ethernet port, they might cost a bit more but that's probably your best chance for fixing it. You could also try using XP. There may be some other fix floating around the net.

                                          Oh and fuccccck apple

                                                Anyway, I too went through the problem you're having.

                                                The problem is that Microsoft looked to the future (for once) and put TCP/IPv6 in Vistas networking. You're going to have to disable that and just use good old TCP/IPv4 because something glitches in there.

                                                Google up: "Disable TCP/IPv6 in Vista" and you'll find the way to do it.

                                                    no need for me to google it i wont touch vista unless its a very well paying job.

                                                    i have installed xp over vista for a ton of people not 1 person i know in the computer industry can stand vista.

                                                    good luck with vista and fixing problems you should not be having.

                                                      Modify the settings accordingly and all will be well.

                                                        Can you run "ROUTE PRINT" from command prompt. Look under the IPv4 Route Table fora ctive routes with the Network DEstination 0.0.0.0 and Netmask 0.0.0.0

                                                        How many entries do you have? If you have more than one do they have the same metric?
