Internet connection dropping vista home basic

I am running vista home basic, and my internet connection drops. I have to
reboot several time to get it back. I have tried to go in and set my adapter
to never shut down, and I have turned off IPv6. These are things that other
people have suggested, but they are not working for me. Does anyone have any
other suggestions?

Re: Internet connection dropping vista home basic

Have you checked if there is a new firmware and drive for the router and
NIC?

I am sure the drivers are up to date for the router, as for the firmware the
computer is relatively new and came with vista installed on it. The NIC is
on board and I will have to see if there is any upgrades for it.
