It's a bad day when I don't learn something, frequently in these forums.

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit

Hi ...I decided to go back to the lan internet connection ... in the evening it's 3 times faster than the usb modem ..don't know why....and so far it doesn't seem to randomly disconnect during games.

At the start of this thread johnwill said to just create a batch file to run this .. err ... see that bit where it says beginner lol.
Could I just stick a program to double click on my desktop to change the IP address or would I have to open a command window and type it.

Thanks

I think what he is talking about is if your (Linksys for example, which i use) Locks up. the firmware locks up, or something in the firmware jams it, or someone trying to hack your network causes it to jam/lock up etc.

Unplugging and plugging back in will fix the jam/lockup

if its a hardware issue, likely its broken for good

and if its internal, like a wireless card or something like that, PCMCIA or Software. Obviously there is no firmware to lock up. It's the PC in that case or hardware breaking

i've been having the same problem!
and its getting worse! my wireless just drops randomly! i've contacted my service provider several times...they do a bunch of things including reset and trouble shooting my router, reset my network key...and it's good for a while (usually) but now it's getting to be really bad...it's like every few minutes it cuts out...just had a tech agent go through several issues and promissing the issue is now resolved...not five minutes after getting off the phone...it drops again...!!! i'd call back but its such an ordeal....and you rarely get an "english" speaking agent! i just don't know anymore....i have dell blaming my service provider and vise versa of course....i'm about ready to give up....desk top is okay...doesnt cut out like this....and, its not cause there are two people on line at the same time (as the service provider tried to say)......i wonder if it isnt just the "wireless card" itself!! could that maybe need replacing...my laptop is only two...but...who knows ..... Joanne better hit the send button before i get kicked off again

remember to say which country you are in as all the, phone systems work differently and you could end up doing something you should not, like rewiring the external box like some fool on here reccomended. bad idea

I got Wireless ADSL. It drops out like every 15-30mins. I've learnt to live with it, but its still extremely annoying!!! Anyone got any ideas? All my ISP said was that there's too much interference, like metal pots and pans. METAL POTS AND PANS...
