No Default Gateway - Ethernet connection keeps dropping
Hi,
Firstly i have searched this forum plus other sites on the internet and cannot find a solution that works for me.
I am using an ethernet connection to my router (Netgear WNR2000 supplied by virgin media). I am running windows 7 professional (i have just reinstalled and this is when the problems started, before everything was fine).
I have an ASUS Formula Crosshair II motherboard and im using the onboard ethernet port, which is nvidia/nforce.
Every so often, seems to be random timing, my LAN connection will drop and when using the troubleshooter it says no default gateway was found and it fixes it. Then i can be ok again for a little while. As mentioned above this only started when i reinstalled windows 7. My old installed worked fine.
I have tried reinstalling/updating the drivers, i have also tried letting windows choose the drivers, both have the same result.
In the event logger when i get disconnects i get an error similar to this:
It is not always imap.googlemail.com that it states, sometimes it is dns.msftncsi.com or others. I do have Microsoft Outlook running all the time.Log Name: System

I found out that processID 1276 is an instance of svchost.exe. Im guessing processID's from errors on other days state an ID relating to svchost.exe but obviously cannot check!
I hope someone can help, its getting quite annoying!
