Hi,
I've been reading for several days no to find a solution, and none of the tips I found over here, nor on the official Windows 7 forum worked for me, I'm completely puzzled by what's happening to my internet.
First of all, it seems I have a similar problem to a lot of people -> My LAN connection tends to drop out on me.
Now, it is not for the same reason as other people are saying here, my connection just drops when the load on my net isn't even that high at all ...
Things I tried already:
- Removing myself from the home-network group
- Enabling DNS manually (instead of the automatic settings which I always have done)
- Troubleshooting
- Disabling most of my components on that particular LAN connection ( QoS, IPv6 etc)
- ...
Now, and this is the part where it gets very weird ... I noticed that my connection doesn't drop completely, it seems *something* just cuts off my outgoing signal (upload) at certain times. The way how I noticed this is, because I sometimes play a game, while playing Call of duty ... everything went fine but every 1-2mins my connection would drop and I'd be lagging, not being able to do anything _at all_ for about 10 seconds. The thing I noticed is that I can still see other players move, and I'm on Teamspeak (sort of voice chat prog) with some friends a lot of the time and I can still hear them talking too, but it's just me who can't do a single thing.
I eventually tried something which I didn't want to try, because it's just not handy but I connected my PC directly to the modem (instead of a router which is in between) and I've had 0 problems since then ... makes me think it is an issue Windows7 has when trying to address local IPs or something and something really goes terribly wrong.
So, my situation is fixed temporarely but I'd love to use my router for internet ... I've had no problems running XP, Linux, Mac on it for several years and I'm so sure it's Windows 7 ... would be awesome if somebody could tell me if there's a way to fix my Home group
, I'd be verry happy!
Thanks
