What do you have configured as dns in your router?

Ken

I have a static IP, DHCP is not working DHCP is turned on but not working it seems
I have only recently changed to a static IP because of the same problem but it has made no difference
some times its fine for hours then it will reset many times in a few minutes

open dns

Open DNS

A default gateway message indicates the problem is not related to DNS. Sounds more a like a TCPIP routing issue. Check your router IP configuration and then the PC IP config. Make sure they are on the same network and as the router. Verify DHCP is working correctly.

Well, I could show you literally hundreds of these "Name resolution for the name *whatever* timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded." errors before I specified the DNS servers. Since then I have none.

I didn't change any router settings between the time I installed pre-7100 builds where I wasnt having this problem and post 7100 builds where I did. I'm wondering if something isn't broken in the way these windows 7 builds retrieve/address DHCP-specified DNS servers, because it turns out that specifying my ISP's DNS servers does fix it as well. (I don't need to use Level 3's, I just need to manually add the ones that should be added through DHCP).

Any updates on this Issue?
My adapter is Realtek with the latest Win 7 x64 drivers

Product Type Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller


Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\rtlh64.sys (6.225.703.2009, 206.00 KB (210,944 bytes), 8/11/2009 4:20 PM)

Gazzasore - I have REaltek GB driver : 7.3.522.2009 from 22/5/2009. It seems its never revision but older . Browse though forum and find a link to the realtek driver I have. I dont have any problem since installing it.

I have switched from 64 to 32 bit and the network has settled down
