"Ethernet" Connection Drop

i notice lots of asus mobo for this problem.. :O

Hmmmm, interesting. My main system which has given me problems has an Asus Maximus II Formula. My HP laptop has never had a problem.

As soon as I upload anything, like Dropbox, my connection drops. I have an Asus. I'm either buying an network adapter, which is unheard of or downgrading back to Vista.

I much rather get an network adapter because I like 7, but this is totally unacceptable.

Has anyone heard from Asus?

I have a linksys n pci network adapter. I had the connection drop problem with it when the linksys drivers were installed. I uninstalled the adapter with the check box for the drivers to be deleted. Upon restart I let the OS install the Windows 7 drivers which are broadcom n drivers. I have not had a problem since.

and to test, you've done multiple reboots, join and created HG, stressed the network up and down, both? You know the drivers that were installed were the same drivers that you had installed the first time, right? I have noticed the bug with 7 and the checkmark box for "delete software driver.. " when you go to uninstall the adapter. I know this since there is NO 7 driver available, generic or otherwise that should install after i uninstalled the adapter and rebooted, well, that was the case. Where beforehand i had to manually install the driver, therefore putting it in the driver cache (that apparently isnt being deleted like it says). When doing a check on driver date and version, its the exact same driver that i had previously and selected to uninstall and DELETE.

just a word of caution.

Might I ask why are you all using Vista drivers?
my systems counting 3 have simlar or same NIC cards-adapters as mentioned in this thread and Win7 applied different drives than Vista on all systems.
Using Broadcom on laptop, using Marvell on laptop and using Realtek on desktop, all using Win7 drivers and NO PROBLEMS.

I have a dell dimension E510 and it seems to drop my connection every time it goes to sleep. I at first thought it was the screen saver, but if I get back to it before the computer goes into hibernation(?) I still have a connection.
This computer has a cable connected to it, but the laptop has a wireless connection and it hasn't dropped its connection yet. But it also is running XP Home on it.
That said, I am assuming that isn't a router problem.

After three days of stability I have had 2 dropped connections in the past hour.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.

There can be many reasons for dropped connections.
have you looks in the "event viewer" to see what notices - warning you are getting.

This is it always with variation of site. Always requires a system restart to get things going again.

I finally decided to just go back to XP. I was getting tired of fighting with my network connection. Any ideas? I installed the drivers from my router's cd and then I had a connection on my computer, but then the laptop couldn't connect. Needless to say, I gave up. I think I will wait until they have a stable release and buy that.
