Internet connection freezes
« on: August 24, 2005, 12:08:32 PM »
Hey,

Having searched the forums I couldn't find anything that was similar to the problems I've been encountering so I thought that I'd start a new thread.

My problem is this. My computer can not maintain its internet connection over time. Being very inexperienced with computers I may well not highlight the problem well enough, but I will do my best.

Basically whilst I'm browsing the internet with firefox I will be given the message "xxxx could not be found" or some such similar message. This prevents me from loading any new pages or refreshing the page I am on. However my computer will maintain connections with video game servers and instant messaging programs for example.

Basically I think that my computer becomes unable to launch new IP connections, even if the ones I'm holding at the time are canceled.

So, I heard the problem was being caused by Microsofts Zero Configuration Connection wizard and that the program to use to maintain the wireless network connection was available on a disk they had provided me with, it wasn't. This problem occurs with all computers on the wireless network, even though they have different network cards.

What I would like is if someone could tell me how to fix this problem or point me in the direction of a wireless netwrok connection program which will.

Any reply much appreciated,

Brom

What has caused this problem to occur?

Have you scanned for Viruses, Trojan Horses and Spyware?

No, I've had it since day#1 - my PC is void of all such things, I scan regularly.

I'm just looking for a different piece of software to run the configuration.  :-[

What scanners are you using?
