This problem is extremely frustrating and confusing. What happens is that my connection is REAL sporadic. I can stay online for a few minutes, but then it cuts out for a few minutes, and comes back on again. So far, I have discovered this:
-It is not my ISP. My PC is on a LAN, my brother has his PC hooked up to the same ADSL box as I am, and he does not have any problems.
-It is NOT the NIC, or network interface board. So far, I have gone through three different brands (NetGear, LinkSys, and some other one I can't remember the name of). THe first was an ISA 10 baseT board, and the other two were PCI 10/100s. The problem started somewhere during the middle of my ownership of the old ISA card.
-Recently, I have upgraded my motherboard and CPU from a K6-2 380 on a Micronics C200 mainboard to an Athlon TBird 750 on an Asus A7V mainboard. My connection problem has occurred on both mainboards.
-During my CPU/Mainboard upgrade, I also reformatted my harddrive. Partly to clear the junk on my machine, and partly to see if it woud get rid of my problem. Not a change.
-I have moved my computer around the house to different sockets that have access to the LAN. No changes. -I have changed my IP to a different one that is in the same subnet. Still no change.
-I have run anti-virus software (PC Cillin'), and I have updated the software. Not a thing.
-I have plugged my PC directly into the 10 baseT hub and I have plugged it directly into another 10/100 hub.
-I have changed my PC's ip to my brother's PC's ip, plugged it into his LAN outlet, and have run the same internet applications on both, switching the plug between tests. He doesn't have the problem, I do.
As you can see, I've done an awful lot to get this **** problem fixed. I'll be lucky if this post even gets out onto the forums. Right now I'm using the NetGear board, I just put it in tonight, and my connection has gone out a few times already. PLEASE, HELP ME!!!!
