XP losing connection

My WinXP PC has a problem and my Win98 PC on the same router does
not

My broadband connection on the XP PC is fine until;-
When I leave the XP PC for a while and it goes to standby, then when I
move the mouse to wake it up my broadband will not connect. Every thing
looks OK, the Zone Alarm icon shows a connection, the lights on the
ZyXEL router flash but browsers or mail/news programmes will not
connect.
The only way I've found to reconnect is a restart.
(It was just the same before XP SP2)

I've tried start/cmd/ipconfig release and renew and disabling and
enabling the network but still no go.
If I put the modems ip address into the browser I can get to the ZyXEL
modem router setup/test programme and get it to ping on the Internet OK
but cannot browse. The modem test status's all give 'pass' (anyway the
modem is OK because the W98 PC connects - see paragraph below)
The modem is OK and the browser/PC are OK but it is as if the XP
'network' to the modem goes to sleep and does not wake up. I've tried
switching the modem to PC cables and modem 'ports', and on my ASUS A7N8X
board I've tried on both LAN ports.

On the same router I've also got a Win98SE machine with the same
versions of ZA and anti virus and spyware programmes. That machine can
go to standby or sleep but when it wakes up the broadband will connect
without problem. It will connect OK when the XP machine has 'locked
itself out'.

The PC's are not 'networked' and the behaviour is the same with either
only one PC or with both PC's switched on.
Previously when I had a non-router Binatone USB modem on the XP machine
_it_did_the_same_ and I thought that the problem would go away with a
router modem.

I am a novice on broadband and am not familiar with networking so any
help will be greatly appreciated.

What errors are reported by your browser and email client?

Have you looked at the IP setup - both when it's working and when it isn't?
If so, what does it show?

If not, when it's working, go to the Command Prompt and type "ipconfig
/all"<Enter> (without the quotes) - and copy the result to Notepad and/or
print it

Then, when it fails to connect, do the same again and compare results.

I'm slightly confused as to your exact setup. Can you list your actual kit,
and what is actually connected to what. When you say the PCs are not
networked, do you simply mean that File & Printer Sharing is not enabled
even though both PCs are physically connected to the same modem/router/hub?

You are presumably using your modem/router as a DHCP server to dish out IP
addresses to both PCs? I'm wondering whether something is going wrong with
this when the XP machine goes to sleep, and is not recovering when it wakes
up. It would be worth trying fixed IP addresses, and turning off the DHCP
functionality.

Such thoughts ran through my mind, but the OP says he can get to his router
using a browser by entering the browser's IP address. So IP is not
intrinsically broken and its not a ZA issue as it has permitted a new
connect (although I guess it could be blocking outside addresses for some
bizarre reason).

The output from "ipconfig" and "route print" would be useful. I wonder if
the default gateway has been somehow lost or perhaps DNS is not working. As
you suggest, using fixed IP addresses can make life a lot easier. That and
the DNS settings are all on the General tab of the Properties page for the
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item within Local Area Connection Properties
(Control Panel then Local Area Connection). This may be different if the OP
has used the connection wizard and gone down a different route to the one I
would recommend - the wording about how "this computer" is connected is
confusing to say the least. With a router present, no computer is directly
connected or connects via any other computer. You tell it you are on a
local network instead and supply the gateway information separately.

ZA is at the same build standard and settings on both machines. - and
the XP problem has persisted from when I first went onto broadband 7
months ago using a USB non router ADSL modem. It was when I got the
router modem and plugged in the Win98 PC that I found it was specific to
the XP machine

I have not tried any suggestions yet because I've got into the habit of
switching off the PC when I leave it now because it is quicker than
waiting for the shutdown and re-start. I'll take the outputs suggested
and then again when it stops connecting.
My recollection (without actual page copy) is that all that I've checked
reads exactly the same whether or not it will connect.

The setup is;
The XP PC uses an ASUS A7N8X-Dl board with 2 built in LAN's (a '3COM
LAN' and a 'nVidia LAN') - I've tried both.
(As I said, it was the same on a USB port with a 'Binatone ADSL500 USB
modem' and at that time I suspected it was a USB 'wake up' problem)

The Win98 PC is Gigabyte GA5AX mainboard with a PCI LAN card.

The router modem is a ZyXEL Prestige 650H-E. Using the XP PC I set up
the computers IP address as per the instructions and then put in my
Internet providers information. It worked OK first time no problem
(apart from the sleepy thing)

I then connected the router to the Win98 PC and switched everything on
again and it all worked. While I was wondering if I had to set up the
Win98/router; it found the configured router and immediately started to
download the latest AV update and just worked OK. All I had done was
'plug in and switch on' the Win98 PC
I have not tried (or even know how:-() to get the 2 PC's to talk to each
other through the router.

After sending this I'll get the output from "ipconfig" and "route print"
before and after and look for differences. (I can't attach a binary copy
in this NG - is there an easy way to get the information from the 'DOS
type' window into a text editor?.)

The router will have two different IP addresses - one for its ADSL interface
to the internet (dynamically allocated by your ISP when the router connects)
and one for its ethernet interface - which is part of your network. The
network card in each of your PCs needs an IP address in the same range as
the router's ethernet IP address. If the router is acting as a DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server, it will allocate the IP addresses to
the PCs. For this to happen, the TCP/IP setup for each PC has to say "Obtain
an IP address automatically". The alternative is for you to select "Use the
following IP address" and to specify it yourself.

Right click in the DOS window and click on Select all. Then right click
again and select Mark. This copies it to the clipboard - from which you can
paste it into a Notepad window - or even into a newsgroup posting.

I'll read that in detail and understand (I hope) any implications.

It comes out a bit long but in the "cmd" DOS-type information I can see
no difference between working and non working.
I've listed non-working first, Browser/Email client/CMD info;
then the same when working.

I suspect that it's a DNS problem - although it's not totally clear from the
evidence. [A DNS server is the thing which converts a URL such as
www.bbc.co.uk into an IP address like 212.58.224.111]

The ethernet setup for your PC lists the router (192.168.1.1) as the DNS
server - which is what usually happens in a DHCP setup. The *actual* DNS
server address (provided by your ISP) is held in the router and accessed by
the PC. I suspect that the PC isn't accessing it correctly when it wakes up
after a sleep - even though it is still pointing at the same address.

You can test this theory by putting an IP address into your browser when it
refuses to connect to a URL. If it wont connect to http://www.bbc.co.uk but
it *will* connect to http://212.58.224.111 that would indicate that DNS
isn't working.

If this is the case, you can enter one or more DNS server addresses
explicitly into the TCP/IP settings for your ethernet card. [You may have to
enter a fixed IP address too - I can't remember whether you can do one
without the other - but it's no hardship].

That way, you can be sure that the PC will always find a DNS server (unless
you ISP has a hiccup!).

I doubt you've done anything wrong, but as Tim suggests DNS is not working.
Think of DNS as a phonebook for the internet, which works (as do phones)
only with numbers (IP addresses). To talk to any site/server by name, DNS
does the name-to-number translation. Without it, the internet appears
pretty broken ;-)

I could not be entirely sure why XP fails where 98 does not, but you do say
that your 98 machine "discovered" the router by itself. It may therefore
have set tcp/ip properties slightly differently. However, 98 also lacks any
form of sleep/hibernate/standby function (if I remember rightly) so what
works on startup should continue to work always. I have had no trouble with
XP's hibernate function on my own PCs but that is not to say there may not
be issues with some networking capabilities or even specific LAN hardware.
I know sometimes the sound card "disappears" on one of my machines which
then has to be completely powered off to recover.

Delve into the Properties for your nVidia LAN connection and see what you
have for "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address
automatically". The first is usually checked for DHCP use, but the second
may or may not be. I would hope that if you check the "Use the following
DNS server addresses" option instead and enter suitable values, that your
problems ought to go away. Your ISP should ought to have a support page
somewhere listing their DNS servers by address (not solely by name for
obvious reasons).

If your technical interest is piqued by this problem, you could also try the
nslookup utility in a command window. On entry, it *should* inform you of a
default server name and address and prompt you with >. At the prompt you
can type in a desired name, eg. www.bbc.co.uk If DNS is working, it should
come back with name, address and sometimes alias information. If it fails,
you can enter a command such as "server nn.nn.nn.nn" where nn.nn.nn.nn is
the ip address of a known DNS server. Then try that web site again. Swap
back to 192.168.1.1 and see if the router correctly handles the next
translation. Enter "exit" to exit.

As with all Windows networking magic, once you have something working, don't
ever fiddle with it again ! Good luck.
