pwnface Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hey, I've been experiencing weird disconnections for my internet at random times. My internet sometimes goes off for like 2 secs gets me disconnected then comes back on. My current isp is Roadrunner and i've called them a couple of times and they said that there are no errors with roadrunner. I run a router for 3 comps (including mine). I use a D-Link model. In my thoughts i think that either my ethernet card or network card ( or are they the same.. ) if any1 knows what may be causing this, help will be appreciated __________________________ CPU :: intel p4 2.4 ghz 512 ram geforce4 80gb harddrive.

netmasta Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 Try setting your nic to 10Mb Full-Duplex. I also have a D-link and I had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 To update your firmware go to http://support.dlink.com/ To change your nic setting in Windows XP (9x/me is similar) Click Start>>Control Panel>>System. Then click on the Hardware tab>> click on Device Manager, look for a section labeled Network adapters, right click Properties Click on the Advanced tab, look for NetworkMedia and change the value to 10BaseT Full Duplex[/b} You do not have to reboot your computer to see the changes.
