    A while back I posted about my network connection problems, and steps I've taken to resolve them. Since then, I've moved and thus acquired a new service provider. I've also installed a Netgear WPN311 RangeMax Wireless PCI Network Adapter in place of my wired Realtek.

    My connection has performed flawlessly with the new wireless adapter, except for one thing. I installed NOD32 Antivirus v4 and it caused my connection to drop almost every 24 hours. I went back to NOD32 v3, and all is well.

    I doubt everyone here is running NOD32, and I realize that, but if you have a security suite installed maybe try uninstalling it as simply disabling NOD32 on my computer didn't work.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for posting that, I've been having constant connection drops, and the rare few times I could connect, My connection was cripled, even after two clean installs, After reading your post, I took a chance and Uninstalled my antivirus, Avast, and installed Avira, I've had no connection problems since than and my download speeds are back in the 700-1000KBps range.

    Today I got my first connection drop with WinXP driver, and I wasn't able to revive it by disabling-renabling the card. I had to reboot. I will look for the newest driver, but I don't think it is the good driver for my card (8139).

    Edit:
    No driver is available for my 10/100 mbit card. Currently trying the latest driver (2008-10-21) and the disabled network mapping trick.
    No drop yet with the disabled network mapping trick.

    Wow I spoke too early! I just had my worst Ethernet connection drop! I had to reboot 2 times and when I was going to plug my USB Ethernet adapter, it decided to work again.

    I think I will just buy a PCI 10/100 card, USB not being as solid as direct communication.

    That should do the job. Do you think this chip is driver problem free? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

    That looks like a Realtek one too you may have to steer clear of Realtek untill they come up with proper drivers for there cards

    That is a shame... your mobo is not supported in Vista nor Win7. Now that might be part of the reason.
    PER the ASROCK site.
    Per the MS HCL Site.

    The difference with the card I linked is that there is a driver FOR windows 7.

    I can't find any driver on Realtek.com for the 8139 I got.

    I think I'll give it a try.

    I don't think my mobo is the issue here. I got the 865PE chipset and it's very standard.

    Any updates on the connection dropping

    I don't think its the Realtek problem
    As I shut down my Main computer that has a Realtek Nic

    Turned on My Laptop that has an Intel Nic

    But it still had the problem

    So it may be a Win 7 problem

    My main Computer has X64

    My Lap has x86

    Come on all of you guys with computer brains what's causing this
