re: If your Internet Connections drops every few minutes Wednesday, May 25, 2005 at 7:14 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David (2 messages posted) Anthony, I had a bit of luck last night. I found some posts out on the Dell discussion board and they had a possible fix. I tried it and after 15 hours of use I have had NO dropped connections. I found a person that posted a situation almost exactly the same as mine and then one of the senior posters put out this as a solution: "Go to your Network connection, Properties, Authentication tab and uncheck IEEE authentication. Sometimes this gets checked when you update. Nothing should be checked on that tab." I tried the very simple solution and it seems to have solved the problem in my situation. You might want to give it a try and see what happens. It had no other ill effects on working with the network with this Dell Desktop machine. Now I have to admit my laptop has this checkbox checked and has never dropped a connection, go figure. Good Luck and hope this helps you also.
