Problem With Network Internet Conection

jcb33 · 11 Oct 2006 at 21:06

Hi All, Im on an internet conection, I plug my network card into a network port in the wall.

Ever since I got here, My interenet has had many problems:

1) Every so often server not found messages will be displayed for 30-60 seconds before the internet works again.
2) At the same time, MSN, Xfire, and anything else will sign out, and not let me sign back in for the 30-60 seconds.
3) If im playing a game during this I experience a huge lagspike, Sometimes making me lose the game, sometimes making me lose conection to it.
4) I Cannot download anything, The download will get so far then my internet will go funny and it will just say sat at whatever, The only way around this is using a download manager, but many sites do not support this, E.G Im unable to get the latest BF2142 Demo!

I Have tried the second network socket on my PC, and the results are the same, I have replaced my network cable, I have done a rollback of my PC.

Im realy at a loss as to the cause of this, But having talked to someone else on the same conection (In my apartment) They have no problems at all, they can download, they can stay conected, they never get server not found messages......

Please please someone help me!

Thanks, Jcb33

please can you be more specific, do you have a router/modem? if so what manufacture? have you updated firmware?

No modem, As I said Just plug into a hole in the wall, load Firefox, Put my details into the intranet logon and connect to the internet. I use the network port on my motherboard.... asus A8r32-MVP Deluxe - ATI xpress 3200, The last drivers came out in January, and As I got the PC in April its all upto date, Cant update if there are no drivers

So are you tring not to tell us you're a student in halls using the connection provided and as such you uni is your ISP ? It's just if you can't tell us basic details about your connection we're shooting in the dark and you're quite unlikley to get much help of any value.

Off the top of my head is this an event at a specific time eg every hour etc ?

Not timed it, but it seems to be random, I solved one problem which was causing my task bar to freeze when online by closing a cybermaster thing CLIService.exe.

Yes im in halls of residence ,Its the Pavilions in Lincoln, the Conection is 512KB and Provides by Nildram.
