Wired Internet connection keeps dropping every few minutes on Desktop
Hey guys,
I'm having a serious connectivity issue with my wired Internet connection. It keeps dropping every couple minutes. I get a red X over the network icon in the tray and it says "not connected - no connections available". When I do a ping test I get "general failure" about three times in a row, good ping and then general failure again. I have tried many fixes. These include:
uninstalled - re-installed and updated the NIC driver
TCP/IP reset
Safemode
Firewall/security suite - removed
Cable and router are OK - tested on laptop
Wireless adapter - works fine
My info:
1. Wired connection issue
2. My ISP is Flow/Columbus Communications (I'm in Trinidad and Tobago)
3. It is a cable broadband connection
4. My router is an Arris TG862
5. I am running Avira Free Antivirus and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Home
6.
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
