I assume this is because, beneath the GUI, it's effectively doing an "ipconfig /release" then "ipconfig /renew". Give it a few seconds and everything is fine again. It's definitely not the router (or the internet connection itself) as my laptop, using the wireless connection (and running Vista Home Premium) continues to be able to access the internet (and the router's web admin pages) just fine.Įvery time this happens, I can immediately restore all internet and LAN access by opening Network Adapter page, disabling the "Local Area Connection" and then re-enabling it. When the connection does drop, I cannot access any internet pages, nor can I access the router's web admin page at, so I'm assuming I've lost all local LAN access too. the intermittent drops occur whether the VirtualBox connection is in use or not), and indeed, I have VirtualBox installed on two other machines (one Windows XP and the other Vista Home Premium (32bit)) and these operate with no issues. This doesn't seem to affect the intermittent dropping (i.e. I'm running Sun's VirtualBox on this machine and that creates a Network connection for itself. Opening up the Network And Sharing Centre will show the red cross between the "Multiple Networks" and "The Internet". Eventually, Windows7 will update the network icon in the task-tray to show the exclamation mark symbol on the network icon. I also have wireless connectivity turned on within the router for a laptop to connect wirelessly.Įvery few hours or so, when using my PC, I find I cannot access the internet and pages will not load.
Why?īackground: My PC is wired to my ADSL modem/router which is directly connected to the phone line. In a nutshell, my Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) PC intermittently drops it's internet connection.
