ohhhh kay, this might help you guys alot.
my IP for my computer is .1.2
my gf's laptop that im using is .1.3
my ps3 is .1.50

now the netgear router is what my computer is plugged into and her computer has a wireless card for the router.
now
we setup passwords for the router enabling the SSID because her laptop card is stupid and couldnt find the SSID when it was hidden even though i typed it in there for it to find. so we set up a i believe it is a WEP key the router, i manually inserted that key into her laptop which might explain why she has net on this laptop and i dont, because i downloaded the windows 7 RC days after we setup this WEP key for the computers. im not sure how that would effect my computer tho because im not trying to connect wirelessly.. but it was just a thought

as far as dhcp is concerned, no i dont have to log on with any passwords to get internet access. always been plug n play for me

So since the reboot have you had any problems?

How old is the router? IP6 is relatively new.

since my restart i havent had any problems, but i thought that yesterday and when i came home it wasnt working again, with nothing changed other than restarting.
now since restarting i have updated the driver on my realtek tab under device manager, removed my antivir program.
the router itself is a few years old, but i havent really had any problems with it but a few mind boggling situations that me and my friend ultimately realized were fixed by simply updating the router itself through thier website. (one of those simple solutions)

interesting note, under network infrastructure teh device is labeled
Residential Gateway, under properties i can check settings, and the settings shows that there is 1 service in the list
its listed as Teredo, and it is checked

Do you have all four client boxes (your desktop, your lappie, your GF's lappie, and the PS3) on and connected to your router?

If yes, what's the IP for your laptop (see your original post for reference).

Are there any other "clients" attached to your router, for example, a printer server?


I'm guessing this means you've updated the firmware of the router?

my desktop is 1.2 her laptop is 1.3 the ps3 is 1.50. my desktop is on and connected (for now) her laptop is on and connected as well and the ps3 has remained off for days.
nothing else connected to it

Do you only loose connectivity when idle? My router is a bit old also so it doesn't like IP6. I get regular errors in event log (more than 2000) but no trouble with connecting. I will keep an eye on this thread but if something pops up PM me. I live on line.

Your reference to Teredo (see this Teredo tunneling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) brings to mind this thread - https://www.sevenforums.com/network-i...nt-viewer.html

Maybe IPv6 is the issue? Awww he beat me to the punch!

IP6 can certainly be the cause of many, many errors in event viewer but doesn't usually error out.

PS only beat you by abt 30 seconds:)
