Cannot open new internet connections after running WMP (existing stay open)

Hello.  I'm having a strange problem when I run Windows Media Player 11 on Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit).  It does not immediately occur, but whenever I run WMP, my internet connection will be some time after you cease to be able to open new internet connections - for example, I can't open the Web Pages in Internet Explorer, my Sidebar gadgets can not update and such, but my IRC client remains connected to his server (although I can't connect to a new server).  As I said, my internet does not die immediately, it might take an hour or two, but if I run WMP and that he do nothing else whatsoever but leave my computer for once it is a guarantee that this problem occurs.  To fix that I can understand, the only way is to restart.

I read something about what is possibly caused by WMP somehow using up to the maximum allowed simultaneous incomplete tcp/ip connect attempts, but it should be originally the 4226 error code is not present when I run the Windows Event Viewer.

I use Avast! for my virus scanner and I have BOINC/SETI @Home running in the background.  Turn it off does not seem to make a difference, however.  I'm not under any P2P software.

Any ideas on this annoying problem would be greatly appreciated!

  • I lost the internet connection after acceptance of your latest updates. How can I cancel the updates?

    I lost the internet connection after acceptance of your latest updates. How can I cancel the updates?

    Debbie

    How do you know that the loss of your internet connection has nothing to do with the Windows updates? You must find the reason for the loss of the connection.

    How do you connect? Is a wired or wireless with a modem or a router? If a router is the router shared with another computer and this computer can connect to the internet? You need to determine if the problem is a fault on your computer or a failure to connect to your internet access provider?

    What error messages are reported?

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Select the Details tab and check the box in front of the XML view. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

    I lose my internet connection after 10-15 minutes.

    I use a devolo home plug network system. It is connected to a 210 of BT router travel.

  • New Internet connection.

    I want to buy the new Internet connection. Help, please?

    Hi Gavin,

    To connect to the Internet, you need to have an ISP (ISP, Internet Service Provider). In most regions, you will be able to connect to the Internet by using a local ISP, which is a company in your town that makes its business by selling Internet connections.

    Please check your local program for companies that can provide you with you with an Internet connection available.

    If broadband service is available in your area, the company often will provide you with the equipment necessary to connect to their service that connects to a network (RJ-45 connector) card, USB connection, or Wi - Fi wireless.

    Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you further.

  • Difficulty of internet connection after Security Tool Virus

    My mothers computer caught the security tool virus.  I finally had to reload Windows XP and Windows XP now works, but I can't connect wirelessly to the internet.  She got ahead through Linksys.  When I look under the modem it says connection cable to cable.  I'm assuming I erased the other information that I need to connect on the internet.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Here are some ideas of the fallout that occurs in your Internet settings after some infections have been deleted and how set things straight.

    Depending on how you removed the infection (the removal procedure is well documented), sometimes there are a few other things to do later.

    Some malware knows that you will try to get in the Internet to try to find a hair removal method if it adjusts things on your system to prevent you to do so.  Even if you delete the malware using several analytical tools, tools cannot tell if the Internet settings have been modified by malicious software or put you that on purpose so he leaves the only parameters (and your system cannot connect).

    The malware hope that you will not be able to understand these things and give up and just reinstall your XP, do an install repair or by using a Restore Point.  Sometimes it breaks these things too, but you can usually remedy without the use of one of these methds (which aren't really patches at all)...

    If you have reinstalled XP, this may not apply to your situation, but it would be a good start:

    We will check your network connection properties.

    Some malware will alter these settings and your anti malware software can't tell if you have changed the malware changed them or so, after removal of infections, it will leave just the settings as he finds them (it is usually a good thing), but can leave your disabled Internet access.
     
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Inetcpl.cpl

    Click OK to launch the Internet Properties Control Panel, choose connections, LAN settings.

    Or, in Internet Explorer click on tools, Options, connections, LAN settings.

    These settings control your Internet access for all browsers.

    On most environments, not independent, there will be check automatically detect settings and the other boxes are (as Proxy Server) is disabled.

    Automatically detect the setting checked =
    Use the automatic configuration script = unchecked
    Use a proxy server for your LAN = not checked

    Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

    Check your settings for how your network adapter gets its IP and DNS settings.  On most home systems, these parameters must be defined for the system will get the settings automatically.

    If you have another system on your network that works, you can compare these settings with the settings of the system which is not a work and make adjustments.

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, network connections, and then select your current network connection.

    On the general tab, click Properties.

    In the drop down in the Middle, find and highlight the selection of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

    In the Internet Protocol Properties window, the usual selections are to get the IP and DNS settings automatically.  Select the following two options:

    Obtain an IP address automatically

    Get a DNS server address automatically

    The rest of the options on the screen should then be grayed out/not available.

    Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

    Restart your computer and test your connection.

    If it still does not work, check your settings are still in place after a restart and then release and renewal IP of your network device configuration settings.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window, and then type the following commands:

    ipconfig/release
    ipconfig / renew
    output

    Restart your computer and test your connection.

    If this does not work, follow these steps:

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

  • Lose Internet connection after sleep/standby/hibernation Mode

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion Elite e9105z CTO Office and migrated from Win XP to Vista Home Premium x 64, with a NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller.  Whenever I come off standby or standby mode, I lose my Internet connection and have to restart my system or run Windows Network Diagnostics to repair the network adapter settings.

    I tried several remedies available on Internet; but unfortunately, nothing has resulted in a permanent solution.  I contacted my service provider ISP (Mediacom) wonder if it was / is a problem with the firmware used to my cable modem SBV5220 support (for example, incompatibility with Vista) and they said there is no.  So far, I have:

    1. Reinstalled NIC driver.
    2. Power options controlled and reset with USB CDC.
    3. Apply the update for Windows Vista (default gateway setting is lost) for x 64 systems (KB933872) - response that update does not apply to the system.
    4. Reset the IP configuration via the Cmd line.
    5. Tab power, unchecked the box that shuts down the adapter then power save comes into play.

    Access the computer several times a day and having to reset Internet connections became extremely aggravating.  I hope there is a solution.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Back from a 3 week stay, during which my office has been extinguished, my local internet connection would come is no longer active when he came out of hibernation.  The without line worked, but the local connection would not work unless physically, I unplugged the cable from the router (Netgear) and reinserted it.

    After several days of frustration, I went into the Manager of devices, unchecked ethernet optional adapter "allow the computer to turn off this device."
    This seems to have cleared up the problem, at least until now...
  • WRT54GS Wireless Router recently started disconnecting Internet connection after 9 months

    Hello, I have read some and see that it is a problem common but of are to be decided.

    I have a Lynksys WRT54GS with the latest Firmware update v7.2 27 July 2009 (FW_WRT54GSv7.2_7.2.07.013_EN_20090727)

    I ran 2 desktop computers as well as my DVR security by the security cameras for remote monitoring, also portable hook upward wireless sometimes as well without any problem using this router for over 9 months now with no problems until the last few days... I never log out and leave it on 24/7 for 9 months without problem and now recently I had to pull on the power cord from the back of the router and reconnect it to re power on the router to establish an internet connection.

    Now the last 3 days the router loses its internet connection each monutes a few... hours... the time it disconnects are random moments and I have the programs I need to run all day but can't because the router loses its connections...

    I applied the firmware again... re factory - configure the router... rebooted the computer... tried cloning the MAC address... all seem to be doing nothing... the same problem still exists.

    All of the minutes or hours so it disconnects the interent.

    I ran the office computer directly to the DSL Modem and I'm online very well with a desktop computer without disconnections for hours and hours (18hrs to date is not a problem), so I know this isn't the access provider. I had this problem I believe before with a previous Lynksys router and then bought it and now after this short period it seems to do the same thing again with this one. What a pain in the but.

    All solutions and more...

    Re application firmware... then

    factory re set the router... then

    re - connect computers as if it were a new router... the MAC address cloning? Geezus... it must be one simple solution other then buy another brand router.

    Thanks in advance...

    What is the IP address, find the modem directly...? Connect the computer directly to the modem and check the ip address? What is the ip address, you get the router...?

    Try the following settings on the router and check the connection...

    -Change the channel to 11-2 wireless, 462 GHz

    -Under the Advance wireless settings tab, change the tag at 50, Fragmentation threshold to 2304, interval RTS threshold to 2304

  • Problems of Internet connectivity after an upgrade to Windows 7

    At home I have 2 computers Presario laptops connected to the internet via a modem wireless router / the two using Vista Home Premium (32 bit) OS. Last week I upgraded to one of them to Windows 7 (32 bit) and since then, I had Internet connectivity problems. The other laptop, always on Vista, continues to work with no problems and so I excluded the modem/router wireless as the source of the problem.

    The problem is that when all programs that access the Internet, for example Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Outlook and MS Instant messenger, lose the connection to the internet after a few minutes. I disconnect them the laptop to the wireless network and reconnect again manually, then works again for a few minutes and the problem repeats.  An interesting observation is that I use SKYPE (VOIP program) and it is Basel to connect to the internet and maintains the connection without problem.

    I suspect that the problem may be the driver for the hardware wireless (apparently made by Atheros communications) installed on the laptop, but I can't find more information on the subject.

    Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Tony,.

    It is certainly possible.

    Some people have managed to install this driver Atheros for Windows 7.  It is on the following link.  Save it to your desktop.

    Atheros Driver - Win 7

    The driver is in a zip file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Right-click on the downloaded zip file, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files, and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, right-click on the Setup program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  If it installs successfully, restart the computer and see if there is an improvement in connectivity.

    Toshiba bulletin board said that the need to update BIOS, so I followed the instructions but since then I have no internet connection, and cannot restore the connection that I lost all help Toshiba Bulletin Board today lost and none of the programs to sort the problems work - e.g.set assistants etc. I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?

    Can someone tell me if it's a failure caused by the BIOS update or I would return laptop to John Lewis for repair? Thank you very much for reading this

    Hey Buddy,

    The default settings in the BIOS load after update? If this is not the case, go into the BIOS and load the default settings. You can enter the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows start and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

    You can access the Internet now?
    You try to access the Internet with LAN or WLAN connection?

    Also check device manager if all devices are recognized correctly.

    > I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?
    You can create the Toshiba Recovery disk every time. Just launch the pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the instructions on the screen. You need just a few blank DVDs to create the discs. Disks contain a factory image of settings which can be restored each time and how many times you want to so with these disks, you are on the safe side ;)

  • No internet connection AFTER startup, but only works during the boot.

    Hi all

    Have a Win XP MCE (Media Center Edition) Dell laptop running.  I can only connect to internet when the system is even start, and I click on the shortcut to IE or Firefox. Once the system completes the startup it connects me to the internet WITHOUT problem & with good signal and good connection speeds.  System connect wirelessly through a Linksys router.

    If I left the initialization of the system ended up - and I'm trying to connect to IE or Firefox - the hourglass appears for a minute and then disappears and I get no connection!

    This means that I must always start the internet connection while system is always initialize, and if I end the connection I get only back to restart system in place and opening connection when appear the icons on the desktop for IE or Firefox!

    I am puzzled by this and have no idea what to do to solve the problem!
