It sounds like you're facing some internet connectivity issues on your Toshiba laptop that's causing disruptions while gaming or browsing the internet. To address these problems, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Troubleshooting Steps for Internet Connectivity Issues:​

1. Restart Your Router and Modem:
   • Sometimes a simple restart of your router and modem can fix connection issues. Unplug them, wait for a minute, and then plug them back in.
   []Update Network Drivers:
   • Ensure that your network drivers are up to date. You can visit the Toshiba website, enter your laptop's model number, and download the latest network drivers.
   []Check Network Cable/Connection:
   • If you're using a wired connection, check the Ethernet cable and ensure it's properly connected. If on Wi-Fi, ensure you're within range and not facing interference.
   []Disable Power Saving Mode for Network Adapter:
   • Sometimes power-saving settings can interfere with network connectivity. Disable any power-saving mode specifically for the network adapter in Device Manager.
   []Reset TCP/IP Stack:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following commands:

      netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset

   []Disable Proxy Settings:
   • Ensure that proxy settings are disabled if you're not using a proxy server.
     • Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy and turn off any proxy settings.
   []Run Network Troubleshooter:
   • Windows has a built-in network troubleshooter that can diagnose and fix common connectivity issues.
     • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Internet Connections.
   []Check Firewall and Security Software:
   • Your firewall or security software might be blocking certain connections. Temporarily disable them to test if they are causing the issue.
   []Check for Windows Updates:
   • Make sure your Windows system is up to date by checking for and installing any pending updates.
2. Scan for Malware:
   • Run a full system scan with your antivirus software to check for any malware that could be affecting your network connection. These steps should help in resolving the internet connectivity issues you are facing on your Toshiba laptop.
