Internet Disconnects randomly

First question for me with all that you have done, would be.
1. open all connections from the outside box.--check for tightness on connections.
2. ( I have in the past - removed ea wire and polished with fine emory cloth. helps make a good contact.)
3. once every connection to your MODEM is (in your opinion EXCELLENT.)
4. find an replace FILTERS.. a filter can go bad at any time...
(personal feelings..Win7 is much more sceptible to noise than XP or Vista.)
5. In your system do you have the ability to run a noise ratio check.

Noise is a killer -

I ran all new line from the ISP connection to my MODEM, and speed increased 1.50 x and disconnects stopped all to gether.

Good point i will clean up all my connections and get back to you a bit later. Thanks.

What do you mean by Filters? If you mean the filter the isp puts on line you cant remove those (well can but can be fined by law) or do you mean the Splitter? Your internet connection should be off your first drop with your cable going straight to modem with no more splitters in-between. If you have already called your cable company and they can see no disturbance in noise from there end to your modem i doubt that is the problem, usually they have your internet running at the highest db in line strength because of it nature.

Done will reset and see how it goes till morning.
Thankyou for all the help people.
Will report back if its crashed while im sleepin.
Cheers,

I think he means the line filter also available as a splitter(if you have a phone coming off same port) that you plug into the phone socket so it cancels out noise from house phones etc

Ahh a dsl line sorry thought you were talking cable connection.

Disable IPV6. Could be killing your router.

I disabled IPv6 on both lan connections earlier, but it still disconnected after that. seems to be going ok atm though.

Did you change the virtual memory

I did

Also I have woken up to find that my Machine has not Disconnected once through the night.

Usually its sitting on the login screen from recovered from a serious windows error.

So knock on wood, it looks to be fixed. I will post back in a few hours of gameplay and networking to conclude :)

Random DC today

Heres what the event viewer looks like.



I dont get it
DNS error tells me im out of Virtual memory, so We upped that.
System tells of a IPv6 error so we disable that.

and still the errors.

This is the Warning at 4:47:55
Name resolution for the name messenger.hotmail.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

Im beginning to think that Windows 7 has more bugs than vista.

On top of this. IE keeps crashing and recovering tabs of sites that i am going to. I watch a movie or something through Mediaplayer and it crashes 10 mins through, getting a lot of application hangs and not responding errors on msn, MSoutlook 2007 and other programs.

Also the killer is it updates and reboots when it wants. right in the middle of stuff. Im sure this can be set to not auto reboot. but between the errors and the reboots.. i guess im hoping a update will actually fix the OS. Come to think of it.. all these problems started after the first or second lot of updates after original install.
