I'm having problems connecting to the internet. It was fine yesterday but today iv'e got nothing. Tried a few different tips/techniques from other forums but still no luck. Below is what i get when i type ipconfig /all in the Command Prompt

 

[Halbezar]

Is this a common problem as it seems to happen to others i have noticed

Hi, welcome to the forums

What heppens when you right-click the network icon (bottom right) and select Troublshoot Problems?


OS

 

[Halbezar]

It says "there might be a problem with the driver for the local area connection adapter"/ "there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection adapter"

 

[Orbital Shark]

Can you give the make and model of your machine and if possible please fill in your System Specs

 

[Halbezar]

I only know so much of the specs. I'm going to fill the rest of the system specs Asap.

But the make is Advent and the model is Centurion CPD1303

 

[Orbital Shark]

I'm currently lost for what to suggest...The Advent support page is just a contact number, nothing else :shock:

 

[Halbezar]

Well thanks for looking. Anyone else got any ideas? I'm stumped as to why this would suddenly happen

Did this happen about 2 days ago? There were a couple of updates out that affected the other halfs' laptop. To cure the problem I did a system restore to a point about a week ago and the laptop was back to normal.

 

[Halbezar]

Yes it was a couple of days ago. I might try that but would it happen again eventually?

You may need to update your network card drivers ... or if they were updated (without you knowing), then possibly a roll back is in order.

 

[Halbezar]

System Restore has solved the problem. It was something to do with updates.

 

[Halbezar]

How do i stop updates that will affect my connection? Can i install those updates that previously caused the problem since Windows update keeps pestering me.

 

[wilywombat]

You seem to have confirmed my suspicions re the latest updates. I would say that if you have automatic updates switched on then, yes it will happen again when it tries to re-apply the updates the next time. I am going to investigate further and apply the updates one by one until the connection gets screwed. It may take a little time as there were a load of updates applied at the time. I'll getback on this one.

Ive also found recently that installing direct x creates the same problem. I still haven't installed any of those windows updates. I'm not sure which one (or however many) causes the problem. There are 62 updates and one optional update. I will list them eventually

Edit: I'm going to try installing 10 at a time and see which ones cause the problem
