This is driving me crazy!!!
I am having the same problem. I clean installed 7100 and my connection drops every 10 minutes. I have to reboot in order to get it working again.
I have an Asus A8V-XE and VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter with Vista drivers.
Any ideas?
Win 7 is great, but you need a solid connection <sigh>.
I'm trying to backup my data online and uploading huge files.
Help!!!
i notice lots of asus mobo for this problem.. :O
Is there a solution other than going back to Vista?
Can I buy a NIC and use that instead?
If so, which NIC has been successful?
My connection drops when I'm constantly uploading, like backing up.
the ultimate question.. :P should we go back to vista? or stay with win7 and bare with connection drop?
No drop connection for an good hour until I tried to upload to my backup service on Backblaze.com.
My connection drop within minutes.
I have 2Mbps up.
Any idea?
I tried uploading a 100mb file to my ftp and the connection did not drop at all. It was solid. No dropouts at all, but as soon as I try backing up on Backblaze, the connection dies and I have to reboot.
Any thoughts?
Okay, I'm doing some testing on my own and it seems like Backblack and Win 7 (7100) is crashing my network, where I am forced to reboot after the connection drop.
I went into my Backblaze settings and excluded c;/ completely and only included my data drive (g:\).
After applying the new settings Windows completely froze.
I had to hard restart the computer.
I tried Backblaze again, making sure only my data drive was being backed up and so far, I've had no connection drops.
There is something is 7100 and Backblaze that is causing the network to crash.
Hope this helps and I hope to have no more connection drops.
sames happening with me
