StreetRacerRicehunter Posted February 1, 2008 CID Share Posted February 1, 2008 well its simple from time to time this pc wigs out like right now looking at the bottom left task bar the lil ballon pops up and says a network cable is unpluged then it dissapears and then a sec later it comes back sumtimes even faster sumtimes slower and right now the net is fine runing smooth in a few minuts itl start up again. makes the internet extremely slow to use almost unbarable. ive got another pc and a laptop i hook up to the same linksys router im using behind a sb5101 motorolla surfboard modem comcast gave me, only this pc has the problem. xp home sp2 virus scaners spyware malware scanners come up with nothing ive completly checked everything in my net settings everything "semms" ok. no failed hardware i cant explane it its just wiered. i cant even explane how many times ive re-set the router and power cycled the modem. sumtimes (rare) it fixes it most times not. and now its doing it again..........

Voltageman Posted February 2, 2008 CID Share Posted February 2, 2008 Have you tried switching which port that computer is connected to? Perhaps that one port on the router is wacky Also make sure the nic drivers are up to date. If the nic is not onboard(ie: pci nic card), try swapping with another pc and see what happens..Or if you don't have another one, just install it in another pc, and see if that pc has the same problem... If it's only that pc doing it, it's either the nic card, the network cable itself, or perhaps the router. Could be spyware/virus related as well...Never know. Are you using a different firewall? (have you changed recently etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
