Windows 7 - Internet goes off randomly every week or so

| | Internet goes off randomly every week or so Hello Ever since I installed Wins7 I have this problem every week or 2 weeks. Never happened with Vista. My internet just decides to go off. It can work for up to 2 weeks fine, but then just get narky and moody for a couple of days. I believe it has something to do with the network, as often when I log on I am on to public network, or duplicate networks. There seems to be a problem finding the right network(i.e. my internet network). My wireless laptop works fine ALL the time. This PC is connected by a brand new Ethernet cable to the modem. I have the latest modem driver installed. I get the error message "the dns server is not available" , or "the network gateway is not available" when I try the repair. Again, I have all the latest drivers installed and have a new cable. Finding the right network seem to be a problem . Anybody have any ideas on what I can do? Get a new modem(my one is compatible apparently) or maybe a new adapter? (have a sneaky feeling this might solve it, but they are expensive) Many thanks Iolar Last edited by iolar; 04-03-2010 at 05:00 PM.. |

| | Well Im not sure if Im running Homegroup to be honest(homegroup is on and off). I prefer not to have any home network and just use each CPU independently(if that makes sense). Networks seems to be messing up my internet badly at the moment. I don't need a network, only the internet. Windows7 seems to be obsessed with networks. |
