I click on †˜try againââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ and it uses the connection, no problem. It then works perfectly but if I don't access the web for a few minutes I get the same message. If I click on 'try again' it works OK again.
I set up the router using Automatic Configuration †“ DHCP; under which there is no †˜Keep Aliveââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ option. The option to keep the connection alive only appears under PPPoE and PPTP.
Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢d be very grateful for any advice.
I have the identical issue with my linksys router. Its like my pc has lost its ip for a second or two. Click retry, works perfectly until the next period of inactivity. Its always been like this for me, but doesn't anoy me enough to do anything about it.......
