Windows 7 W7 and internet/net issues

[Hudrin]

after reading countless of posts with people describing the same problem it seems W7 7100build has a problem with keeping a stable connection to the internet or lans, and the main symptons are ; you loose connection and need to reset your local area connection and you get the message that the local gateway is down and everything is fine after a reset until next time which will happen asap as you try to stream,browse,play etc.... :s

Now this seems to happen only when people are maxing out their bandwith with playing games, streaming and or just browsing at the same time, simply put running multiple programs that require a lan. now the big question is..who has a solution for this?, its only being reported for 7100build and i can confirm that it has never happen on xp,vista, or any w7 beta builds on my computers, only w7 7100, my router is fine, my cables are fine, my networkcards are fine, my isp is fine, this is a 7100 build problem!. now...start brainstorming or will someone from ms look at this?

It sounds like you're encountering a specific network connectivity issue on Windows 7 build 7100 where the connection to the internet or LANs becomes unstable, especially when multiple programs that require LAN access are running concurrently. Here are some troubleshooting steps and solutions you can try to address this problem: 1. Update Network Drivers: Ensure that your network drivers are up to date. Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause network issues. 2. Disable Auto-Tuning: In some cases, TCP Auto-Tuning can cause network instability. You can disable it by running the following command in an elevated Command Prompt:

 netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

3. Adjust LAN Settings: - Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings. - Right-click on your LAN connection and select Properties. - Uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" if it's checked and leave only IPv4 enabled. - Disable any QoS (Quality of Service) settings related to your LAN adapter. 4. Check Firewall and Security Software: Your firewall or security software might be interfering with network connections. Temporarily disable them to see if it improves the situation. 5. Check for Third-Party Software Conflicts: Certain software like VPN clients or download managers can interfere with network connectivity. Try disabling them temporarily. 6. Reset Winsock and TCP/IP: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Run the following commands:

 netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew

7. Check Windows Update: Make sure you have all the latest updates installed for Windows 7. Microsoft might have released a patch to address this issue. 8. Contact Microsoft Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance. They may have specific insights or solutions for this problem. By following these steps, you may be able to improve the stability of your network connection on Windows 7 build 7100. If the issue continues, contacting Microsoft Support or seeking help from forums dedicated to Windows 7 might provide additional solutions tailored to this specific build.
