"Ethernet" Connection Drop

[ReinmarSWE]

Upload rate issues

I've got some issues with the upload rate!!

My conf:

Asus P6T Deluxe V2 with integrated Marvell Yukon Dual Gigabit LAN controllers 2*Marvell88E8056

Intel Core i7 920

Asus Radeon HD4890

Corsair 6GB DDRIII

-----

No problem at all with my download rate, I've got a 100/100 connection and my download rate is about 75Mbit/sec but my upload rate is about 0.5Mbit/sec!!
And yes; I've tried everything! Unactivated antivirus, firewall, skipped the router and so on...
It could be that my ISP have som problems, hopefully! I've contacted them but not yet an answer.
Anyone got some ideas?

connection wasnt a problem in vista. yup, its a 32bit x86 install, didnt install the beta and its a nvidia nforce netowrking controller.

disconnecting like a clock

i did a clean ontop win xp.
i can say that from last evening as i installed vista drivers for my realtek ethernet card, it disconnects like a clock every 20-30 minutes for a few seconds. not something that is intorelable but still annoying for downloads for ex.

all that is working on my comp that is net related is MSN messenger, ICQ , firefox , and an automated download managet (USD)

hope someone will come up with a solution for this..

i can't even successfully download the exe from nvidia!! i am gonna use another medium to do it now.. every 2minutes of the download, i would get a connection drop.. and the connection drop would only be fixed by troubleshoting..

update: i uninstall the current network adapter driver and installed the 15.25 nvidia driver. After the installation, nothing worked.. i went to device manager and couldn't find my network adapter anymore. so i clicked on Add Device, waited for about 3minutes but nothing came out.. i am restoring my system again.

now i just hope that someone could perform miracle and fix this problem..

I seriously doubt this will help anyone, but I have to mention it anyway.

You know where you set static ip addresses for IP4 in the network config popup. And you set the default gateway and dns servers?

Well, change the dns server to your router ip address. Or change it to the dns server your isp provides.

Obviously, if you are using DHCP to connect to your router, disregard this advice.

 

[tongteh]

tried it, didnt work...

I am getting basically the same thing. Web service stops randomly. I am presently using a linksys wireless N adapter to a Linksys N router. Also, have two builtin Lan adapters. Event viewer shows DNS failure which happens both wired and wireless. Resetting of the router and/or the DLS modem has no effect. Resetting the wireless or wired adapter has no effect.

The only fix that I have found is a system restart. The problem first started with Win 7 beta X64 and has continued to Win 7 RC X64 (clean install). I did not have this problem with Vista 64.

I feel that it is clearly a Windows issue but what and how to fix it is the question.

unlike XP, in win 7 you can still be using DHCP for your adapter tcp/ip AND configure the DNS servers (router ip)

how did you install the adapter drivers for the failing adapter? from win7, update, or manufacturer?

 

[Digger]

tongteh... try searching for other drivers for that chipset... what chipset is it? nforce what? 2, 3, 4?

I have to manually install the drivers for my nforce 4 chipset when i'm on the wired adapter, atleast i had to on the beta, fixed a gateway issue with the 7 beta driver which could still be in use in the RC, havent compared yet.

No failing adapter - the wireless and both wired adapters perform or fail the same. I used manufacturer drivers for the linksys wireless and windows drivers for the wired (motherboard) adapters.

find out what wired adapter on the MB you have by going to device manager under network adapters. Then go to manufacturer website, or google the adapter. Uninstall drivers from wired adapter. Then either install by the setup.exe install or if zip/folder, use device manager to navigate back to the adapter now with a yellow mark on it (most likely), and choose "update driver", specify folder, navigate to folder and then proceed to install the driver. THEN reboot, come back to desktop, double check tcp/ip4 settings that you have your gateway and dns servers matched at the router ip and you should be better off... hopefully... if not then you are in the same rickety boat that i may be in.

Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool

 

[tongteh]

digger, its a nforce 5 mobo(amd nforce 5 ultra to be exact). i will try out the internet evaluation in a moment. i guess there are alot of ppl experiencing this same problem afterall..

 

[tongteh]

can i ask what browser is everyone using facing this problem?? I am having connection drop everytime enter a web address!!! it's unusable..

 

[Gene]

New drivers do not resolve the problem.
tongteh, I have the problem with both IE8 and Firefox .
I have installed Vista64 on a spare drive just to confirm what I remember - that the problem does not occur in Vista - more later.

 

[tongteh]

points to be clear:
new driver doesnt resolve problem
browser doesn;t seems to be the cause
it's definitely a win 7 issue
and it's surely annoying..

On another thread I found this advice which does not work for my wireless adapter but I think may be helpful for your ethernet adapter.
Goto device manager and find your network card and click properties and under management make sure that "allow the computer to turn off this device" is unticked.

trying it now, but i highly doubt it.. i am using the internet, and it shouldn't be sleeping while i am using it.. besides that, how could it sleep every 1-2min?? i doubt it's that sleepy..
