Ethernet Cable Problems
Ok so to start off let me say that for the past two hours i have been searching through every google link/ forums about every single type of problem that people have been having relating to their internet being disconnected during various times.
I have tried the following solutions with no success.
Resetting Modem/Router
Uninstalling Bonjour
Setting my speed/duplex to auto
Cmd netsh reset catalog thingamajig
Changing to a different ethernet cable/ port in my house
Uninstalling any latest software that was installed
Updating any drivers that needed
My Computer specs are
Sony Vaio Laptop
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
4 Gigs Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo Proc 2.10GHz
ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4650
Network Adapater is Marvell Yukon 88E8055 PCI-E Ethernet Controller
Ok from what i have seen its not a problem with my wireless card because when i go over my friends house and connect to his wireless network i can stay connected no problem. The problem is that when im home i do not have a wireless router and i connect my laptop via ethernet cable...every other computer in my house has no problem staying connected to the internet. At first i thought it was Firefox acting up so i switched to Google Chrome, but alas the problem persists. Ive read through 50+ pages of advice on what to do but i think i have a unique problem here.
When my computer is sitting idle, my internet connection stays, for instance as im typing this i can stay connected. But the second i move my mouse or click on a search bar, or hit enter after typing something into google, my internet goes crazy and keeps connecting and disconnecting every few seconds. Hopefully someone will have some insight for me as i am trying very hard not to do a clean OS install...
thanks alot
