Internet problem

[aussiefly]

Quiet often when I boot up the internet has no access.
When I run troubleshoot it always says to reboot modem.
Have had Windows 7 for 6 months without a problem,
but recently had to reinstall because hard drive failed.

Only had this trouble since new install.

Make sure that your wifi drivers are up to date...

Wifi not the problem, my comp uses cable

make sure your modem driver is installed well..from device manager.

your connection is use provider?? try ipconfig /renew and /release

It should be a driver problem. D/l and install the latest driver for your network adapter. before doing that, check in DM, whether there is any mark before your network adapter.

 

[aussiefly]

no mark before network adapter,
haven't updated latest drivers for modem for a while
Modem is Netgear, external.

 

[ryo]

can you fill your system specs.
and download lastest version of modem netgear first. and post your result.

Downloaded latest netgear drivers and installed.
Do have a ! next to pci simple comm controller

Right click on it and select Update driver and let it search for one thru online.

Will have to check Intels website DP35DP motherboard

Please do and keep us posted

Ethernet cables are very low-tech, not very robust, and can only take a limited number of yanks and trip-overs. I would replace the cable before digging too deep into other stuff.

Ports on routers can go bad too - try another port.

Well after the update on Netgear so far so good, each time I have booted
up the internet has been connected.

Could not find a driver for the PCI simple commm.

Congrats..I dont think it will be an issue if you dont update the PCI.
