I have been experiencing intermittent connectivity for about 4 months now and
have been dealing regularly with my ISP to fix the problem, to no avail. They
recently switched me from a cable to a DSL connection with same problem
arising. We have cleared winsock errors, released and renewed something
(sorry I can't remember what), I reset my IE setttings back to default, have
tried accessing the internet without my antivirus (Trendmicro 2007)/ and
Firewall (Windows) activated, but have had no luck with these changes. I
cannot restore my computer back to a date before this began, it doesn't list
a date 4 months back as an option. I’ve taken off the power saving option on
my Network card, had my card checked out at GeekSquad, have had several
different static and now a dynamic IP addresses. I am not connected through a
router, it’s a straightforward setup. My old Windows XP laptop seems to stay
connected with no problems.
The wierd things are that sometimes, (and I mean somtimes, each of the
things works sometimes) resetting the modem sometimes works, restarting the
computer sometimes works, diagnosing and repairing a connection that shows I
am connected when I am not able to pull up an IE page sometimes gets me up
(and says that there was no connectivity problem), and diagnosing and
repairing a connection that reveals only local connectivity also sometimes
works and again says that there was no connectivity problem). Please someone
help, this has gone on too long.
