Does it happen with & without connecting through the router? Create another user or try the guest account & see if the same thing happens.

I have tryed it on two diffrent networks and the same thing happens

You installed all the necessary driver but did you install a firewall or anti-virus or any other protection software. If not, you should have done before you went anywhere near the Internet. Stuart
