Network Connection Cuts Out When Gaming
I've noticed this only when gaming over the course of the last three or four months - firstly when I was playing MW2 and now also when playing Warcraft.
The connection just goes. A yellow exclamation point pops up over the network icon and my internets go off - to fix I have to pull the plug out of the router and put it back in.
My set up is a modem router, into which my wifi router is plugged - the PC is hardwired into the wifi router and I don't think it has ever cut out during an internet only session, only during gaming.
It's not the router - as I have recently replaced it.
I thought it might be the cable, I've replaced that and it still happens.
I have just updated the drivers for my network card, it's not fixed it.
I assume it's my network card itself that is the issue, but I wanted to know if there's any reason it could be a Windows 7 issue?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
