I know that issues similar to this have been brought up a few times, but none
with a satisfactory answer in my case.
Using VIsta Home Premium, I find that often, entirely at random, Vista
refuses to make new HTTP connections. TCP/IP is fine, I can ping whatever i
like, or ping my PC from another computer. Any connection s already open
(skype conversations, torrents, downloads) are unaffected. However, when a
new connection needs to be made (new web page, new conversation etc.), it
refuses to do so: browsers tell me that they cannot connect to whatever page,
IM clients that messages cannot be delivered etc. I cannot connect to the
router administration page during disconnection.
It is not a power saving automatic off issue, as I have this disabled. It is
not a router issue, I have one of the best routers on the market (a netgear
rangemax), with a wired AND wireless connection (i have tried with both
together, and one at a time), and other computers connected to it still have
a connection. ipconfig /renew does nothing, diagnosing the connection finds
no problem, network and sharing center says i have a connection to the
internet. I am using a broadband/ DSL line, cat5 -> modem -> router -> PC.
The loss of connection is entirely random, sometimes happening in the middle
of the night, sometimes in the middle of use. Using gentoo/ ubuntu/ damn
small/ kubuntu linux there is no problem.
Exactly the same bug was in the build 5600 beta, I had rather hoped it had
been sorted since then. The release version was fine for a few months, then
started doing this.
The connection returns after a random amount of time (usually) and is
perfect; disconnecting/ reconnecting to the network both in terms of software
and hardware is ineffective. On reboot is is perfect, again.
I hope I have provided enough information- please take the time to read
through if you are going to answer! Thanks very much.
