LAN is dropping connection..help Plz
My problem: My LAN connection keeps dropping. Will run for a while but then the connection just kicks out. Sometimes it will reset by itself, other times I must reset the modem. Left idle no disconnection until I start to download data. My setup: Mainboard GA-K8NS ultra 939 CPU Venice AMD 64 3000 PS Enermax 400 watt Vid ATI Radeon 9700 Mem 2 x 512MB PC 3200 Samsung Optical CDR/CRW Optical DVD writer HD 1 x 80 GB Maxtor 2 120cm Case fans Floppy Solutions taken to trouble shoot problem: 1. ISP Tech support checks cable and modem - okay 2. Hook cable and modem up to second computer - okay 3. Exchanged motherboard - same problem 4. Update mainboard bios and lan drivers 4. Disable Marvel Yukon Lan (onboard) and insert 3com pci nic - same problem but not as frequent. - so I assume that its not a nic issue. - could it be an IRQ conflic? No IRQs seem to be shared. - compatabilty issue with video card - lastly a power supply issue Adding up all my periferals the recommended minimum power supply rating should be 258 Watts. At present my 3.3v rail 3.34-3.45 (okay) and my 12v rail 11.98 - 12.40 (okay). So any ideas? Frustrated. Wad |

Is this cable or DSL? I'm thinking cable but wanted to be sure before I put
my foot in my mouth. ;p Anyway, try dumping your DNS cache or flushing as it's called by command. Once you've done that, run the release command, followed by the renew command & see if that helps. Also, if it is cable, you may want to suggest that a tech come out & take a line reading throughout. Drop a bug in his ear about thinking you may need an amplifier inline to help solve the problem. Make sure you have decent cables & patch cords. That's a real biggie that most people over look. The more cables & patch cords you have, poor signals can't be far behind. When you say "keeps dropping" did you mean just on the LAN or are we talking internet also? What OS are you using by the way?? -- /\/\UF/-\S/-\ "Wad" wrote in message ...

What OS are you using by the way?? Its cable and its the internet connection. The signal from the cable modem drops consistently on 2 different computers. I thought it might be a nic problem so I exchanged my new motherboard, but no difference. I was away last month but the wife said there were a few days when there was no cable connection at all. Sometimes the modem will even reset itself if left long enough, or i have to manually reset it, but rebooting the computer does not do anything..so I have to assume its the line. I had the technician out last friday and he said the signal was fine, but I have a feeling the cable between the modem and the splitter outside the apartment is somehow bad. Ive been waiting days for the tech to return but of course you know cable companies..never can tell you when they will come. Thanks for the help, Wad |
