    Computer is dropping internet, but other devices are fine.
    « on: August 04, 2011, 08:24:41 PM »
    I have a laptop with windows 7, and when I play World of Warcraft my internet cuts out and doesn't come back until I reset my computer (which has always instantly restores the internet). It's only my computer that is doing it, my IPod stays connected, along with my desktop. Please help.

    If you are using wireless connection , then try directly connecting to the router/modem. Try also basic browsing if it will cut off your connection. If you are using a 3rd party firewall, try using windows firewall and remove the other.

      Found out it was a overheating problem.
