Dropping Internet Every Few Minutes- Default Gateway Not available
Hey,
So, I'm on my wonderful laptop and it works well when I'm home. When I go to college, however, I drop internet ever couple of minutes. I run the troubleshooter and it reports that the Default Gateway Is Not Available. So, that sucks. It fixes the problem, then, a few minutes later, it happens again. I've been looking for a fix to this problem and I've found several relevant posts on the internet, but most ask for router information. Some even said that the router may not work with windows 7 and it needs a firmware update. I can't change the router, because it's a dorm. Others nearby haven't had any trouble. I do have friends who have the same problem as I, but less frequently. I thought the problem was McAffee so I got rid of it, but the problem persists. I'm really anxious to get this solved, so any help is much appreciated. I'm willing to supply whatever information necassary.
Thanks.
Problem solved through following 2xg's advice.
