i just bought one.... works fine but on one of mine pc it kills the connection for a second and gets back online.... why does it keep killing and restarting connection ? anyone here had a similar problem ?

Juicy D. Links · 01-19-2003, 07:08 PM

didi you configure it right? check the connections also...

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 07:10 PM

ya i did... everything works but it just restarts connection on this computer after like 5-10 minutes... and goes back online...

lagwagon · 01-19-2003, 07:10 PM

nope never had a problem with it. virtually plug and play just about.

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 07:12 PM

i didn't install cd that came with it ... but it shouldnt metter...

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 07:20 PM

what do i need to do so it will stop reconnecting ?

iwantchixx · 01-19-2003, 07:21 PM

are you relying on dhcp? DONT. Use static for internal

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 07:23 PM

so dhcp is a problem ? or you guessing ?

TheDr · 01-19-2003, 07:23 PM

Are you using Cat 5 sheilded cables ?

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 07:25 PM

yep
it works..... but lets say I download something, it goes for about 40 seconds then stops.... if i go to mirc, its connected for like a minute and then drops connection...

I have 3 boxes on a LINKSYS router ... it is pretty much Plug 'n Play

Once in a blue moon things go a bit buggy, I just recycle the router ... maybe once a month for good measure ...

What he said, but if that doesn't do it, give us an idea of your spicific config. (are you using a hub, swhitching hub, how many pcs... etc).

recycle?

edit:
nm, I looked down and I have Netgear, anyways... unless this is something that should be done to all routers??

Sorry

tech term

Unplug the power source for maybe 20 seconds ... killing any "memory"(resetting the factory presets) ... and then plug it back in

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 07:38 PM

DSL connected to the linksys router, from router i got 2 pcs connected... like im om icq, then it gets me offline after 5 min and back online...

btw i had netgear, it sucks... linksys much faster altho it's cheaper then netgear

admin is 192.168.1.1

pc1: 192.168.1.100
pc2: 192.168.1.101

TheDr · 01-19-2003, 07:40 PM

Ok, an experiment, have you tried switching pc1's port connection with pc2's port connection ?

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 07:43 PM

yep...

TheDr · 01-19-2003, 07:43 PM

Sorry sometime I don't complete my thoughts. What I ment was to see if you get the same problem with the other pc configure like the problem pc.

I inadvertantly do that anyways whenever my cable company does work on the system, which is about once a month, and I have to reacquire my ip.

xxxcam.. I'm a cheap bastard, so I'm betting the netgear was on sale the day I bought it, lol. I haven't had any problems with it, though. *knock on wood*. Hope your problem gets fixed soon...

TheDr · 01-19-2003, 08:10 PM

OK, I got shit to due, so here's my final comment (for now). If swapped out both pcs, cabling and ports and the problem pc is still a problem, then I would suggest you do the following:
Pull the box cover, take it outside, get a can-o-air, and blow it out. check the nic card make sure it's properly seated, check the nic socket, and blow it out, and try again

emailtrader · 01-19-2003, 08:17 PM

If that fails, chuck it out the window, youd be suprised how often that works lol

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 08:26 PM

fuck, so nobody had such a problem before ?

Ray@TastyDollars · 01-19-2003, 08:27 PM

Ray

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 08:28 PM

Ray@TastyDollars · 01-19-2003, 08:31 PM

Ray

xxxcam · 01-19-2003, 08:34 PM

Rex · 01-19-2003, 08:53 PM

Any chance that the hostname for your router is the same as the hostname for the PC that's having problems? I had a client that had those same symptoms, and that's what the deal was.

BJ · 01-20-2003, 01:02 AM

you need to adjust your mtu settings... isps do this shit to force you to buy equipment from them....
