Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help Dreanmachine 11/11/2008 5:52:04 AM Just got an HP laptop with Vista 64 bit. My home network is working well (have 2 XP machines and 2 Vista machines (one 32 bit and one 64 bit)). However, the new 64 bit laptop has the network discovery feature turn itself off on occasion. Tells me it has gone from a private to a public network. I have to reboot the PC. I have done searches and many other folks have had the same problem, but I have not seen a solution. Any help out there? Thanks in advance.

Re: Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help "Kerry Brown" <kerry[ at ]kdbNOSPAMsys-tems.c*a*m> 11/11/2008 4:38:10 PM Have you changed the SSID from the router default? I've seen this problem when a neighbour has the same SSID (e.g. linksys or dlink) and is not using encryption. Make sure you are connected to the router you think you are.

Re: Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help Dreanmachine 11/11/2008 11:27:01 PM The problem mainly occurs after the laptop is brought out of sleep mode.

Re: Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help Dreanmachine 11/12/2008 12:54:02 PM It is thus . . . . HP Pavillion DV6929WM Notebook I have also seen it fail when in normal operating mode, just out of the blue. I do not believe there is problem with SSID, as this is very unique.

Re: Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help "Kerry Brown" <kerry[ at ]kdbNOSPAMsys-tems.c*a*m> 11/12/2008 2:37:31 PM The latest drivers from HP are here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2100&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3757122&lang=en You may have better luck with wireless networking by uninstalling the HP wireless assistant. Depending on which of the wireless options you have, you may want to go to the wireless chipset manufacturers site and try their latest driver as well.
