More than 1 NIC card connected?
Sarah
I had a similar problem because I had a NIC expansion card and the motherboard nic card both enabled. I disabled the built in card and that was my problem Good Luck |

You are not the only one. Win 7 differs from previous versions in that in homegroup it uses IPv6, instead of the older but more reliable IPv4. IPv6 can cause random drops, slow downs, connectivity issues. When you set up win 7 it asked if you were in a home stting or work setting. If you chose home, then homegroup you have. You can change it foairly easily. Go to network and sharing, set up a new network connection using workgroup, then disable the home group and see if you have the same issues. Disclaimer You wont break anything but should always have a backup in case. Do you? Hope this helps Ken J+ |

Ive either sorted it.... or just been lucky and had a few hours uninterupted surfing n downloading:
1. Google the 'Norton Removal Tool'.. Download it and run it (uninstalling Norton does not remove the whole program) 2. Totally disable Windows Firewall for Home, Work and Public Networks. 3. Use AVG as an Antivirus, but disable the Link Scanner... 4. Cross fingers. 5. Buy my a Beer. Good Luck |

Do you have quicktime installed? Quicktime installs Bonjour. I was having my net card disconnecting until I uninstalled Bonjour.

How to disable an extra NIC
Start-----control panel----device manager------network adapters------at network adapters see if you have more than 1 enabled. If so disable all but the one you are connected to. You can do this and see if you can get online. If not re-enable that network adapter and disable the other one. Hope this helps you Garp |

Zigzag - I don't have a backup because it won't let me do it, another problem with this computer/windows 7. I'll try to create another backup later again.
Thanks anyway Scaney! belikexp - I've just tried what garp has told me to do, if that doesn't work I'll uninstall Bonjour and see. Thanks so much everyone! |
