Up until now, my wired connection to my modem has been flawless. Recently I have been experiencing periodic connection drops. This is most noticeable when I play multiplayer games. I use Comcast ISP. Can anyone help with this?

Hi, kingDistruct. I am experiencing similar problems. Mine hasn't been solved so far. Hope you get rid of your problem soon.

After a drop how do you get re-connected? If you've tried other methods without success what were those attempts?

Assuming that's for a good connection please show ipconfig /all for disconnected. If it looks the same, then also show (other commands in the Command prompt window) ...

ping 67.182.81.27 (or whatever your current IPv4 address is)

ping 67.182.80.1 (or whatever your current Default Gateway is)

ping 75.75.75.75

ping yahoo.com

The thing is that the connection comes back up within a minute or so while I am playing, this makes it incredible difficult to get an ipconfig/all while it is disconnected. I think it may be that my modem is over heating, but I can't be certain.

These are the pings while I am connected.
