Network / connectivity dropouts??!

[dlads]

AMD Phenom x3 @2.30GHZ (not overclocked)

3gb of ddr2 RAM

Win vista home premium

Bit Defender Total security

600GB HDD

MINI ATX CASE

Not too sure on the psu but its a ready built pc so it should be set to run everything within.

I have a Belkin wired router and it has another pc linked to it but up til now there has been no connection problems whatsover, i get a very low ping all the time, and never get lag when playing online games.

This pc is the first to lose any kind of connection.

And it is also very new. (less than four months old)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, Hi All, i have a problem with connectivity.

Here goes, every time i switch the pc on, it takes a little while, (i'd say about a few hours maybe 4 - 5) the connection just drops out and it goes to the little yellow exclamation symbol on the connectivity monitor.

All i have to do is restart the pc and then its back up and running, all tests prove that theres nothing wrong with it and the pc is virtually brand new.

I am with virgin broadband and its a 20Meg line.

If i missed something out then please ask and ill fill in the blanks.

Cheers in advance.

Spk soon.

Also this is a test i did at speedtest.net im getting a reported 19meg of 20 but the upload is crap in comparison to what i usually get.

What upload do you usually get?

Anyway, I see nothing wrong with your internet connection. I would say it is an issue between you and the router.

Maybe the router shuts the internet connect down after a long period of no activity?

What are the 2 red icons in the tray ?

 

[dlads]

The two red things are my anti virus, and nothing to do with the network.

And my router is fine, like i said ive got another pc linked onto the it in another room.

The internet icon in the tray goes to an exclamation mark after a while and theres nothing i could do about it, and thats when i am using the pc.

Anyway i reinstalled the drivers for the motherboard and it look sto be it was an issue with one of those.

Been on for a while now, got a download rate of 2.40meg a second which was nice.

So yea ll issues are gone so thanks for your prompt replies but its cool now so cheers.

Spk soon

I've got the same problem, a restart solves the problem, but it is very very annoying

 

[dlads]

I seem to still get the drop outs when i open utorrent and its been on for a while.

Ill give you more info when ive doen a few tests with it.

It only seems to happen on the pc ive got vista installed on, and not the xp one.

SPk soon.
