Internet (cable) connection may lost
Hi all,
In my good-old PC was a mainboard change because the earlier one went wrong, both of them have onboard LAN, and after the change in my WinXP Pro the internet connection (cable modem) slowed down, precisely speaking it may lost for a while (cca 70-80% of time). When it works it is very fast.
I've taken the followings:
1. updated the new MAC address at my ISP, reset the cable modem
2. netsh int ip reset
3. netsh winsock reset
4. DNS service up
5. ipconfig /flushdns
6. DNS service down (because I've a large hosts file)
7. ipconfig /release
8. ipconfig /renew
9. shutdown the PC and unplug the cable modem
10. After five minutes plugged in the modem and booted my PC
... and meanwhile I rebooted a few times
But the slowdowns are the same.
Here are some additional info:
1. netsh diag gui shows that it cannot ping the DHCP server and there is in the list the ethernet of the earlier motherboard (VIA Rhine-II)
2. msinfo32 shows the earlier (already non existent) ethernet adapter as well
3. it cannot be a (serious) hardware problem: I have opensuse 10.2 installed too and with it the connection works properly.
Can anyone help me please?:confused:
Thank you in advance,
Peter
