I periodically lose network and internet connectivity

Periodically my desktop drops to limited or no network connectivity and has
no internet connection. This also happens whenever the desktop is
started/restarted. I have to reset both my modem and router to bring the
connection backup despite the other computers and the printer on the network
are connected and working properly.

Re: I periodically lose network and internet connectivity

Sounds like incompatible issue. Microsoft has a new update that may fix this
issue.

Windows Vista Update and download
Microsoft just release a new update 941649 on 10/25/07. Based on our tests,
it does fix many incompatible issues and improve the reliability....

Re: I periodically lose network and internet connectivity

I installed the file that you recommended and the same symptoms remain. Are
there any other suggestions you may have?

Re: I periodically lose network and internet connectivity

How long (timewise) is your DHCP Lease? It seems you have a very
short DHCP lease...

You can find this by typing in "ipconfig /all"

Re: I periodically lose network and internet connectivity

I also have exact same problem here in Sydney. New desktop vista, gigabyte
m/board/realtec network card seems as though could be our problem?? had 2
hour pc tech around to fix/no luck. Faulty network card was his conclusion
.... maybe! My xp-pc/printer/apple tv etc always stays connected aswell. Tried
5 modems in last 16 days ... not their problem either. No solutions known @
Netgear or my net provider ... all say is motherboard problem aswell. HELP!!!
Had pc tested but all good/had Vista tested in safe mode but all good/no bugs
.... no virus on pc.
