Server Not Found - connection timed out

try a usb style wifi adaptor and see if your problem persists

you'll need to turn off the internal adaptor in your network adaptor settings

something like one of these

TL-WN823N | 300Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter | TP-Link Australia

Thanks for that information - I have an older wifi USB stick that I use on an older desktop so I will give that a try.

Cheers

I found the solution today - it was as I thought, the check box in the wifi adaptor properties dealing with power usage had the turn the wifi adaptor off box to save power box ticked [bigsad]. So when on battery to save power it was switching off the wifi adaptor - this must be a default setting as I have not touched any of these at all.

Thanks for all the suggestions - helped me work through the problem.
