I have a new computer, using a clean install with Vista SP1 home premium. This problem existed prior to SP1 and in fact has almost always been there. The problem was worse with a previous Linksys 350 router.
I have a D Link router Dir 655 updated to ver 11. The problem is I am connected to the internet and the lan. Every 15 minutes or so (it varies) the internet connection dies but the Lan appears to remain working. I have issues with the LAN but first I need this resolved. The break lasts for a minute (it also varies by a few minutes)
The other machines on the lan are XP based and do not suffer this problem. They remain connected. The Lan issue is one of appearance and connectivity. They also vary in relation to the Vista machine. I haven't tried to see if there was a pattern to the connection issue but sometimes they connect and sometimes they don't.
I have pinged the router and each machine and they are all found. Speed seems fine both up and down.
I am using Kaspersky 7.0.0.125 with the firewall on. Tried with it off and Windows firewall on...same problem and tried it with no firewall...again same problem. Took Iv6 off, no effect. Tried to update the Network adapter but it appears up to date. (Atheos L1 2.4.7.10)
I must have read every internet page on Vista (is it Vista?) regarding connection issues. I turn to Tech Support for help for help...
