I've searched all over the net for weeks now and I haven't been able to find
a solution to my problem. I have tried everything in the book that I know of
to try and correct this problem. I know it has something to do with SP2
because I have 2 computers running SP2 and they are the only ones effected by
this. My main computer (XP SP2) constantly gets knocked off of it's internet
connection. My IM profiles constantly get disconnected and then reconnected.
During FTP transfers to my websites the file gets cut off mid upload.
Websites take FOREVER to load. Like I said I have tried everything I can
think of to try and fix this problem.
Main Computer Specs:
Windows XP SP2
MSI K8T Master 2 Motherboard (onboard gigabit LAN)
Dual AMD Opteron 242 1.6 Ghz Processors
1 GB Corsair Registered Memory
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet (onboard LAN)
Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Raptor 75 GB SATA Hard Drive (Main Windows Drive)
250 GB SATA Hard Drive (Storage)
I also have an older Sony Vaio that also has SP2 and has the same problems
as the above mentioned computer, but not as bad.
I have Adelphia Cable internet running through a Linksys WRK54G wireless
router. I have updated the router's firmware and it is in working order.
I also have a Mac G4 Dual running on the network, which has no internet
connectivity issues (but has a lot of issues with being a piece of crap
Mac...I work in video production and hate Macs...I have to have it to work
with my collegues who have them). But the Mac has no problems with losing
internet connectivity.
I also have another PC running Windows 2000 and a laptop running XP SP1 that
both have no problems staying connected.
At this point I only care about getting my main computer from losing it's
connection. Websites take forever to load all the time...it drives me nuts.
I've run registry scans, spyware scans, and antivirus programs constantly and
nothing helps.
I have Norton Anitvirus 2005, SystemWorks 2005, Xoftspy Spyware Remover and
Registry Mechanic...all run on a regular basis. I also update Windows every
time it prompts me to.
I have checked with the ISP and they said everything should be good...plus
if it was an issue with the ISP my other computers wouldn't be on the
internet.
I'm just wondering if there is something I can tweak or run some kind
diagnostic on my main SP2 machine that will fix this problem or at least tell
me what the problem is. I have seen a lot of people online with similar
problems, but I've never seen anyone find a real solution. Surely someone
has found a way to fix this or has at least something I can try.
PLEASE!!! can anyone help me out with this? I am not a computer illiterate
person as I run a network here of 5 computers, but I have tried everything I
know of to fix this problem. Thank you in advance to anyone who thinks they
can shed light on my problem!
