Now my set top box for satellite TV has lost connection
& is coming up with weird ip address when it tries to reconnect

Restarted Router fixed it

Today I got my first connection drop with WinXP driver, and I wasn't able to revive it by disabling-renabling the card. I had to reboot. I will look for the newest driver, but I don't think it is the good driver for my card (8139).

Edit:
No driver is available for my 10/100 mbit card. Currently trying the latest driver (2008-10-21) and the disabled network mapping trick.

Its still happening the router is getting kicked off line every now and then
it may do it a few times in a row then it may be right for a while

I found this tonight I thought was very interesting

But I wonder if the computer was on away mode since most of the time we got kicked out from the next is when we used it most and this net as well. But, even so I can do nothing with my bios (thanks Asus >.<)

A while back I posted about my network connection problems, and steps I've taken to resolve them. Since then, I've moved and thus acquired a new service provider. I've also installed a Netgear WPN311 RangeMax Wireless PCI Network Adapter in place of my wired Realtek.

My connection has performed flawlessly with the new wireless adapter, except for one thing. I installed NOD32 Antivirus v4 and it caused my connection to drop almost every 24 hours. I went back to NOD32 v3, and all is well.

I doubt everyone here is running NOD32, and I realize that, but if you have a security suite installed maybe try uninstalling it as simply disabling NOD32 on my computer didn't work.

Good luck!

Thanks for letting us know. Now I wonder why your ISP does not like ESET - NOD32 v.4.0 I use it all the time - never have a problem with it.

I installed NOD32 Antivirus v4 and it caused my connection to drop almost every 24 hours.

that sounds like you do not have it configured correctly. (24 hours -huummm seems to be a config problem.)
