hahahha

oh and other dude some more info like your hardware, ISP, connection type, if youre behind a router/firewall and all that stuff would help! dont get me wrong its just hard to answer if we dont know jack about the circumstances...



edit: i hope an elite member or lifer answers next to keep the cool hierarchy goin
junior -> golden -> platinum -> diamond....? (i know im a dork...ha)

 

[imported_JFG]

need a lot more info. How are you connected? Cable, dsl? What infrastructure? Wireless? Do you have a hardware firewall? Software firewall? Try to list all your revelant info

oh, sorry bout the double posting... but i really need an answer. it is now a week already.

i am using windows xp. No sp2. For firewall, i use sygate. avast antivirus. spyware doctor also... just scan, and everthing is ok.
using LAN.

What kind of router/modem/nic?
What ISP?
How is your lan setup?
Any other computers on your network with the same problem?

There are LOTS of really smart people here, but nobody can read minds.

Still a little too broad. Is it just 1 computer or a group of computers losing the connection. Are their any revelant system events in the event logs? If it is just one computer you may want to consider winsock fix.

yeah if theres other computers sharing the sme connection i would check those out... also look at the event viewer in windows (eventvwr) to see if anything goes wrong...
i used to have a problem with zone alarm where every morning i'd wake up and internet didnt work then id shut it down and restart it and just like that it worked all day... until the next morning... lol check your firewall settings some might have an 'internet lock' feature

What are you restarting every 30 min, the computer, the router, the modem, what?

You'll need to post a lot more information about your hardware to get help. Start with your ISP, your connection type, modem model, and your pc information.

I'm going on the (compleatly unfounded) assumption that your behind a router of some sort. I just had the same problem with a router dropping my connection every 10 min (to the second!). A new router fixed it, but a hard reset *may* have fixed it (I haven't checked yet). And yea, were going to need more network specs if were going to be of any use at all.

I had the same problem with a friends computer. Turns out he had a 32mb video card but the bios was set at 128. As soon as the bios change was done the problem stopped.

My internet used to drop out a lot with my netgear & linksys routers. i would have to reboot the damn things all the time.

The fix I figured out was to hard code the DNS entries into the router. Problem solved. Hasn't locked up since on either router

i just checked the antivirus. I am using avast... i reinstall it, and everthing is ok again. Thanks anyone...
