internet gateway / internet connection

aries

Hey, guys... I am not really having a PROBLEM connecting to the internet but
I don't understand why my PC keeps disconnecting and connecting the internet
gateway. Periodically I see a "bubble" come up that says "Internet is now
connected". But this happens randomly. I don't keep making changes to the
system. It just keeps popping up. When I open Network connections I see it
is connected. Then when I had it up it disappeared after it said it was
disabled. Then it popped back in again. I really don't understand why this
is happening. I have a wireless network.

Just to clarify, the bubble that pops up is saying "The INTERNET" and
not "The NETWORK". Once we get that out of the way, we can move on.

I'll be monitoring this thread because I'm experiencing the same exact
problem (but with a wireless connection to an Acer notebook running
Vista). So far, I haven't found a solution, and I'm thinking it may be a
bum router (Linksys WRT54G).

make sure cable supplying the modem has a large enough conductor to handle the current applied..if you bought the connecting cable at a discount store it may be to small....
