Since i got this new PC, every now and then i get dropped from my net connection. i'll be surfing and like a lightswitch, off it goes. Thing is, if i do a reboot it works fine again. I've tried going to the net connection doing a repair, or a disable/enable. but the only thing that works is a reboot. Any ideas? kinda annoying. Never did it on my old PC. thank god. Reboots took a half hour!
Dial up or High speed is the first question Your best bet would be to reinstall if Dial up your dial modem or if its High speed reinstall your NIC Theres obviously something going on with drivers
this has been happening to me lately also cable with eastlink. all lights but opwer go out then takes about 5 minutes for them to go back, and im online again
I had the same problem with mine a couple of months ago.I called and they fixed me up over the phone but they said it sounded as if my modem was getting a bit flakey.I got a new modem and have not had a problem since.
Display Properties -> Screen Saver -> Advanced => set everything to never except your screen Device Manager -> Network Adaptors -> Properties of NIC -> Power Management => don't let the pc to turn of power to this device
mine did the same thing a while back, and it ended up being a loose cable. I had a the cable going through a splitter before it went into the cable modem and it was a bit loose there. Used a new cable and it worked fine.
I'm with Crosscountry Cable but I think they piggy back off eastlink seeing as I have the best ping to the EL CS server... Lately mine has been kicking out just long enough to fuck whatever I'm doing up... Like one second... ICQ and MSN don't even reconize the connection drop. Usually when it drop for more then a minute I just go reset the modem. I use to call and get them to do it over the phone, now I just fuck with it myself and she always comes back to life.
so far since i turned off the power save on thne nic its been ok. Havent spent a alot of time online since being new years and stuff, but seems to have fixed it.
