I don't know how to help with that problem, but you have another problem
too -- your clock is more than 13 hours fast, making your post out of order
in many newsreaders.

More likely to be the wrong time zone.

ss.

You could try this. Go to Internet Explorer > Tools > Options, and, on the
Connections tab, click on Lan Settings. Un-check
"Automatically Detect Settings", if it's checked. (Click OK, then Apply, OK,
to close all the dialogs).

I have done that and it won't help. Always the NIC disappears and I have to
plug in and then scan devices. Vista seems too bugy with power management.

Hi, My problem is that I keep getting a connection message even though I am
connected. If I try to connect it doesn't and says to retry.
Other times Firefox is OK but IE and mail won't open and tells me that I'm
offline. So I untick offline and it keeps going back(very annoying).
I think it may be a configuration problem for IE and Mail. I have
disabled some add ons, even though, as I am new to Vista I don't have many.
How do I stop the message appearing? I miss XP as so many of my programs
are incompatible!
Thanks

Hi, thanks have set time, this is a very new computer and I thought it was
set already to Australian time.
