My system has intermittent internet connection problems. I have several user accounts under XP. At various times, some user accounts will not be able to connect to the internet, although other computers using the same router can. Also, other user accounts on the same machine may or may not be able to access the internet. I do not think the the 802.1x authentication in enabled since when I bring that menu up it is "greyed out" and I am unable to change anything. My internet provider is Comcast. Has anyone run across this issue and been able to solve it.

Thanks

Have you tried reseting your router config & starting over? I'd start there.

I have reset my router and upgraded the firmware to version 4.50.6. I do use the port forwarding feature for one application.

I have two laptops that run windows 2000. Neither have any connection problems.

The problems with the machine running windows xp with multiple user accounts and intermittent internet connections continues.

Any other suggestions?
