My Vista Machine will run online for twenty minutes or so then blink out and ask for a "Broadband Service Provider" password? What could this be? I also have two XP laptops connected wirelessly through a router the Vista desktop is wired (same linksys router)

Hello again.

What is showing in your Event Viewer, if anything?

How long has this been happening? Has it ever functioned without the Password request? What action are you taking to reconnect? Any help from your ISP?

I assume the XP machines are not dropping out or asking for a Password? Have you tried a different cable between the machine and Router? Do you have any Password, that it might be looking for? What is the Title of the Message Box seeking the Password?

Are things set up properly?
