Ok guys ....i reinstalled my windows vista home preminum from scratch and i still have the problem where my internet stops working randomly.
I tried many things, most of the things people have said on numerous forums. My bro uses the exact same laptop. but his internet is fine.
I tried to follow the event viewrs and changed many settings but to no avail.
But the internet drosp r less frequent after i reinstalled windows probably because there r less programs to interfer.
First i used to think that suddenly the computer stops reading my network card but thats not true coz when my internet stops. the icons sometimes, somtimes says there r no available networks but i can still see my network adaptor in device manager (it is not veiwable unless i swithc it on)...this means that the adpator is connected but the internet is not working...Sometimes it just shows limited connectivity, so i log off my network and when i try to log in, it doesnt...i have to switch it off and on again.
This problem usually happens when e.g. msn messenger or my voip software get stuck. When they get stuck, it knocks out the internet, or maybe the internet knocks these out lol..not sure..plz plz help me
two things i havent tried: updating firmware of the router, but most people say it doesnt work, and the exact same laptop my bro has and its working fine on our network
I also havent tried deleting the drivers completely and reinstalling the network adaptor's driver from its manufacteres site. they say its a possibility that the drivers the company gave were corrupt.
but until i try this...u got any solutions? i havent updated windows yet , coz i thught that might coz the porblem. but there is something elseeee
plz plz pl zplz pzl help
