hello all.
recently, ive been using MSN with the webcam, or just leave the PC there surfing or whatever, and after a while, the internet just dies on me. The network cable still connected, and data is sent and received, but nothing happens. I double click on the properties and do the "repair" thing and it refresh everything, but nothing. I cant even access the router... I get the "couldnt" display web site when I type the 192.168.0.1 adress. All i have left to do is restart the PC.
The network on the other PCs works just fine.thanks in advance!
If all the other PCs are working OK and restarting the bad client repairs the connection then your NIC could be going bad. Check your connections, try moving to another port, and reinstall your NIC drivers to see if that fixes it but I'd be looking at replacing the NIC.

when this happends, go to run > cmd > and ping a website, alot of people try to ping www.microsoft.com but dont bother, you wont get a reply, try www.google.com, it will tell you how many packets are recieved and how many are lost.
let me know how it turns out

ping tracing works when nothing else does.
I think I fixed the problem. I reinstalled network adapter's drivers, and also, switched the position in the router from Number3 to Number4 (the other 2 are taken by the other 2 pc). Now the question remains on which one was the solution.

Switch the routers back again. If it doesn't work, that was the solution. If it still works, the re-installation was the solution

Another test is to move one of the "good" clients to the suspect port and see what happens. If it develops the problem then you know the port is bad.
That wouldn't necessarily mean your router was going bad on you: Sometimes the firmware gets corrupted and just needs to be reinstalled. It's also "good practices" to periodically check manufacturer websites to see if upgraded software and firmware for all your components are available. Windows Update helps automate this but they don't always get software updates from all the manufacturers out there. About once a month or so I check for updates manually.
