I know I have heard other people say they have this problem.<br><br>My laptop drops connection to my PPC after a certain amount of time, or if I copy/install a large file to it. Very odd.<br><br>Anyone know of a fix? (and don't say 3.5, because I have it).<br><br>(I POSTED THIS IS 2 PLACES, BUT I NEED HELP)

I'm only speculating, but perhaps the power management scheme for your laptop is set to power down the USB port after a certain amount of time?<br><br>Dan East

Still, you may try checking your BIOS configuration to make sure serial port power management is not enabled (if it even has it).<br><br>Dan East

Ya know, I checked the BIOS and I had the power management on. Thats fixed. Then I updated my BIOS, thinking it might be a LITTLE old. It was ver04, now it is ver18! OOOPS! No more problems!
