Since setting-up a home network over a year ago we have had intermittent
problems with the internet connection being lost from time to time.
Recently it seems to have got worse but it is not the NTL incoming supply as
I have proven this to be stable and never drops when only connected to one
PC and not into the router.
When the network is all connected and the drops the only way to get the
internet connection going again is to either reboot the router manually or
use Gear Minder Router Connection Manager to do a reboot without actually
having to unplug from the mains.
Once rebooted it might last 5 minutes or 5 hours before having to reboot
again.
Network:
Cable Set-top box
Netgear RP114 Router (latest firmware) 192.168.0.1, Default DMZ Server
192.168.0.50 (for Xbox) Firmware Version: V3.26(CD.0) | 8/17/2001
1 PC downstairs with Norton Antivirus 2003
Netgear Dual Hub DS104 (upstairs)
2 PC's upstairs with AVG Antivirus
PC's all running XP SP2 with XP firewall (same probs before SP2) also used
to have ZoneAlarm on all but same probs.
Note: When the internet drops I mean web browser, mail and MSN messenger. If
Kazaa Lite is (for example) connected at the time then this continues to
stay connected
and download files.
Ant help would be really appreciated as it is getting really annoying!
Thanks,
Darren
