I'm using XP Pro. It only happens on wireless connection. I've made sure to diable any action on lid close, too, besides the screen going dark, of course.
Check the advanced tap of your wireless adapter settings. The Minimum Power Consumption settings, is it set as Enabled or Disabled? Try setting it to Disabled.
Same thinng happens to me, on XPS 1330, Windows XP, Dell Wireless 1390.
Using Dell WLAN Utility.
Minimum power is disabled.
Power management tried enabled, disabled, fast.
Any ideea? :)
I have the same problem on my
XPS M1530 with
Vista 32 and
Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card.
It seems the wifi card breaks the connection immediately after closing the lid (tested by trying to call by skype from another notebook).
I've tried all I found on forums:
1. "Do nothing" in Power Management (basic)
2. Minimum power disabled in advanced Wireless configuration
3. Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in Wireless power management configuration.
I have discovered I have the same problem with my Dell 620 on Windows 7 when on wireless. I thought my wireless router had stopped working. The big problem is that I run a business from home and my lap top is in a docking station in a different room from the router so I really need a solution please. Niel

Thank you for posting your message at the Dell Community Forums.
What OS?
Also, does the same thing happen if connected via just the ethernet cable?

Let us know if that has an affect.

None of them helped.

Since the antenna is usually in the frame of the display, leave the display open.
