Connection randomly shutting off...

[Spi1lz]

I have a cable connection, routed to this comp...

This is a brand new 1800 dollar comp...

My previous computer never had this problem...

I am sitting here doing stuff... etc... and it randomly just doesnt get net... It still says "connected" in the Network Connection page...

Then to fix it I have to disable, and enable it... And it works fine... Then again in like 10 mins shuts...

What could it be?

 

[Dr.Gootch]

Reset youre cable modem, is it USB or ethernet cable?

 

[Spi1lz]

ether...


comes straight through the wall into a router...

which goes to all the comps in the house...

My bro hooked it all up years ago... So I dont know much about it...

 

[Dr.Gootch]

Well, try disconnecting all the other computers to the router and only connect it to your pc and see if the problem still is there.

 

[Spi1lz]

All other comps aren't ever running at the same time the problem occurs...

 

[Dr.Gootch]

maybe try a new ethernet cable, if it stil happens its the ethernet card in the computer. Is it onboard or pci?

 

[Spi1lz]

Iono...

On board I think...

 

[Dr.Gootch]

ok well buy a ethernet card there not expensive like 5-15 dollars, and see if that works. Sounds like the onboard etherent is not good.
