    Hi,

    I am using a ad-hoc wireless network with a shared internet connection where my desktop is the server. The problem is when I share a connection, after a couple of hours I loose the connection in my desktop. And to resolve this I just uncheck the shared connection then it works again... But the question is why does it disconnect after a couple of hours?? And is there a solution to this? Thanx
