Re: Vista loses internet connection

jdwroten

Nozzy, looks like we have a similar defect. Here's a status on my
progress to date. Based on thread recommendations, I have done the
following:

1. Confirmed that power mgt is off on the NIC.
2. Ran the MS router compat test - passed all.
3. Turned off auto-tune
4. Turned off IPV6

Mine is better now. I can go several days without losing the Net, even
with heavy youtube and Internet radio usage.

I did lose the Net a couple of times in the last week and rebooting the
router didn't help. I had to reboot Vista these times. Of course, both
Linux machines stayed on the Net. So I'm still not completely satisfied
with the Vista machine (an understatement!).

I'm thinking of swapping my Linksys router for a Dlink to see if it
improves well enough to keep it. I hate to swap hardware when it's a
(Vista) software problem, but oh well...

Jim

Hi Jim,

Have you fixed the problem since then ? I have the same setup as you
and made the same attempts as described in this whole thread, and am
still experiencing the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Sylvain.

I get this issue too on occasion but only since installing SP1. The
problem is Microsoft ****ing things up once again.

I have lost my Internet Connection for my laptop, 2 days in a row.
First time, I tried everything I could think of and finally tried a
restore to get me back, which did not work, but did say the last
restore was 2 days before when Windows did Live Updates. It was a
holiday weekend and I had not used my laptop, but had not shut it down
either. When I checked my Netgear Router, my laptop was not listed as
an attached device or even in the list of those that could connect. I
added it and was able to get my connection back.

Today I came home and had lost my connection again. A little balloon
on the Task Bar said Windows had installed Live Updates, click to
review. Checked attached devices on my Netgear Router and once again,
my laptop was no longer listed.

I think I can live without Windows Live Updates =)

It's probably buried under junk on the kitchen table, that's where my things
end up.
