    Net on W7 wont stay connected, but Fine on XP


    Ok, heres the situation..

    My computer - HP Pavilion P7-1010. Windows 7 64bit home edition..

    My Laptop - HP mini 1000 with XP

    I play this game, Trickster Online.. and they have a "stay connected for 100+hrs" event..

    On my laptop with XP, it will stay connected until I Disconnect it.

    On my PC, it will stay connected for like 5-20mins, then log everything out. EVEN if i am still using the internet.. (its not Idle!)

    I've tried the following:

    -Turned off "Disable this to save power"
    -Turned all my Windows power settings to "never hibernate, no screensaver, etc" even no shutting off of the monitor.
    -Tried Wireless and wired, (Both same results)
    -Reformating the computer to get rid of any rogue programs messing the net up
    -Updateing drivers and Windows
    Is there maybe some weird option in the settings for Windows 7 broadband card?
    or maybe some weird setting in windows 7 to cut my net after so long?

    Ive searched everywhere and cant find anything

    THANKS SO MUCH Also - Heres some info http://ompldr.org/vYWFtbg

    Welcome to SF,

    I'd start disabling Start up Apps and Services that are not being used. You may do this from Start and type msconfig.

    Are you using a 3rd party wireless software?
