offline problem

Every now and again my laptop goes off line and I have to go into options and
uncheck the off line box, sometimes more than once to get it back to go
online, so that I can actually go on line. Never had this problem before in
any computer only vista. Is this a bug or what? its quite annoying at times
and why should it turn itself into off line when you havent checked anything
yourself.

A computer goes offline for the most part when you lose your network
connection. If you lose your connection only for a second or two it does not
matter.

What kind of laptop do you have? If it is a Dell, go to All Programs and
click on Dell Wireless. Disable the setting that allows Dell to manage your
network connections and let Windows manage them for you. If this does not
solve your problem you can try updating the driver for your wireless
connection. If you are using a modem or router you should check to see if
they use software and if so you should update it.

Have a nice day.
