What type of internet connection do you have?
and what settings you are using in WinXP?

[D-cat]

Please open a terminal window and post the output of lspci

Add atl2 to its own line in the file /etc/modules

sudo nano /etc/modules to edit the file. It'll ask your password, it doesn't echo. [Ctrl + x] , y to exit and save.

Is your connection lost after re-booting? Or does it disconnect while active?

Type this in a command line to see if the connection resumes:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

If it is lost after re-booting, you might need to add a [re]start-up script, detailed here:

I am not sure when i dissconnected..It may be disconnected while active...But i am not sure..

See the output of above command

[root@localhost 2.6.26]# /etc/init.d/networking restart
bash: /etc/init.d/networking: No such file or directory
[root@localhost 2.6.26]#
