Computer's power options in Windows are all set to "Always On". I've turned off power management for everything in Windows. I have set the computer to NOT turn off the network card to save power. I have set power management to "Disabled" in the BIOS.
There are several computers on this router (cable internet) and only this one will lose the TCP/IP functionality after being idle for a while (an hour, more or less).
The local area network is fully functional through IPX so I know the network card is working for IPX.
If I do IPCONFIG /RELEASE and then IPCONFIG /RENEW from the command line, I get TCP/IP back without rebooting.
I want this computer to have TCP/IP connectivity without this loss after idle.
Any suggestions?
