If your router software has a 'time out' setting, maybe that can be changed to zero. I have a Netgear router and its software has such a setting that had a 10 min default - it would disconnect automatically after 10 mins of inactive internet use. I changed it to zero and haven't had a disconnect since.

I had the same problem as many of you on this forum.  Your 2200 BG Wireless Card that came with your dell company doesnt work?  I hope this gets out to all who need it.  Your need to update the firmware of the 2200 BG Wireless Card.    I saw some angry posts before and cant find em all, so I hope the word gets out...   Your wireless firmware is controlled by INTEL, so download the driver from this page.   http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-008164.htm   INTEL will give you the proset driver download.  Install, Run, Reset your computer and be wireless.   Dell, can you like give me a free computer or something for writing such a answer
