More info?)
I'll check all these things. I have used Xbox live through a wired
connection and haven't noticed it losing connectivity. Mind you, I have
never lost connectivity on the wireless connection when I'm ALREADY
connected to the internet. It is only when I have put the computer into
standby mode and then started it up again that I'm unable to connect to the
internet. As I said, a full restart always solves the problem.
Perhaps I should also have pointed out that I have a USB wireless network
adapter attached to my PC. Could this be the route of the problem?
