Failure of intermittent internet connection using Vista on Verizon DSL

I had problems with Verizon DSL stopping randomly and does not to return to the top for an unacceptable period of time. Oddly, it doesn't happen on the Vista machine at home. None of the Mac has this problem.  If I remove the machine network Vista and replace it with a XP machine is also no problem.  It's on a cable network.

I think I can find some interesting information. What I did was as much the DNS entries my network connection that I could find. I have used google, OpenDNS, DNSadvantage, Verizon, Norton a few steps from my web services and everything else I could find. There certainly reduce questions but had some interesting effects for example one of the URLS pointing to obsolete the secondary DNS information.

I'll post the DNS entries here except those owned by my web host.

To enter these click on "Start"-> "Control Panel"-> "Network and sharing Center", click on "Manage network connections", double click on the active card, click 'Properties', double click 'Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Internet', click on 'Advanced...

This is not a complete solution. Sometimes, still, but not as often. Some sites still bring the network to its knees.  Sometimes she lets wait for the connection to be reborn and run a WHOIS on the site that has the problem of one of their DNS to add to your list. I put it to the top after google's servers and it seems to work most of the time.

I went through all of the so-called "patches" of this problem without success.   What is the solution?  It seriously makes me batty.

Hi mark11_23,

Got several things for you to try:

  1. How old is your router, you should consider updating the firmware on your router. Some older routers do not sit will be Vista (or 7) and require an update of the firmware.
  2. Update the driver for your NIC directly from the manufacturer's website. You'd be shocked to see how many sons of connection to network on these forums are caused by a newer driver.
  3. No chance that you are able to get the issue of duplicate mode safe?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
  4. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe mode, go to a clean boot and locate the item causing the problem.

    How you would solve intermittent Internet connectivity?

    Hello Chit mickolo,

    Thanks for posting. Intermittent connectivity can occur for several reasons. First to get a better idea of your installation. Do you use the dial-up or high speed internet? You have wireless or wired connectivity, and whether this happens at a time. You have multiple computers on your network? When this happens does occur with all or a computer? What troubleshooting steps have you made so far if necessary to solve this problem?

    Once again thanks for posting and I can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • Intermittent internet connection.

    Hi, I have a Linksys WRT54G Router and have been meet with intermittent internet connection on a daily basis. I tried several things to solve without result. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I think that you need to update the firmware on your router.

    Go to the Web site template linksysbycisco.com/downloads...insert of your router in search tab... select the correct version of your router... Download the firmware file... save this file on the desktop

    The firmware was updated.
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware of the device: -.
    Open a page in Internet Explorer browser on a computer hard wired to the router... In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1... Leave name empty username & password admin lowercase usage...

    Click the 'Administration' tab - then click on the 'Upgrade Firmware' under the tab-here, click on 'Browse' and navigate the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...

    Wait a few seconds until it shows that "the update is successful," after the upgrade of the firmware, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned to the same page OR it will say 'cannot display the Page.

    Now reset your router:

    Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...

  • iMac intermittent Internet connection... a little

    Good evening to all!

    I have an iMac mid-2011 running on OS X 10.10.5. A few weeks ago it started giving me *. Most of the time, it works very well. However, from time to time (it can vary from once in a weekend several times a day), he abandoned the Internet connection... a little. It is quite complicated to explain, and English is not my native language so patient with me. Randomly, some Web sites and right areas will become inaccessible. Reloading Web pages does not get me anywhere. Does that change the error message in my browser that will come to me. I can also access most video games require an online connection while my iMac is upward. I can quite strangely, still receive and send emails and use applications such as Skype or uTorrent. Some sites Web will always also. Most of the time, YouTube is completely functional. Is the same for the Google search function, although I can not load search results when I click on them. Facebook tends to load with an extremely messed up display. I say 'more' and ' tend to "because it happened a few times that even these sites Web would not load. Applications like Skype and Mail have never failed me up to this point. Homepage of Skype app comes down with the drops, however.

    I use mostly Chrome, but the problem is also present on Safari. I've not installed on one of these two browsers of extensions. The problem is not limited to my user. Other iMacs on the network experiment not these drops. Restarted my iMac seems to fix it temporarily. I tried to use other DNS. The issue is extremely intermittent and the 'drops' length varies from a few seconds to an hour. Here are the screenshots of the various errors that Chrome gives me (there is no reason, reload and another one pops up). I know they are in French, but it's the best I can do. I'm really desperate for help because I'm taking courses online soon.

    uTorrent is your problem.  Relying on software illicet means that may have installed something that hurts your connection to the network.  Sorry, but you really need to remove all software obtained torrent.  Get software only directly from the developers and the Mac App Store.  MacUpdate is good also, but never get Mackeeper.

  • intermittent internet connection of HP pavilion x 2

    Hello

    I bought a x 2 Pavilion 11.6 "2 in 1 15 days ago and I am constantly thrown out of my internet to explore link (says I have no internet connection) despite the internet access the bars showing the complete connection. My ISP is Virgin.  My old PC that runs windows 7 and new HP daughter divided x 2 13 '' who is running windows 8.1 that connect well to the router at my house and my new links pavillion x 2 fine for the interntet via wifi at home and work without any problem.

    I tried to re-creation of my router several times and this solved the problem for about a minute at best.  We bought two laptops through Curry but they refuse to come to the House to make a configuration despite offering to pay for the service and they say that there is no fault woth the PC because it works in some places.

    Sometimes to investigate the question of nework arrives with a (999) network connectivity problem, sometimes he said to re - configure the router/modem - but as stated earlier, this only solves the problem for a very short time as HP performs automatice reapirs - (reset the "IntelR wireless-N 7260" adapter) which lasts about a minute.

    After having spent £429 on this beautiful piece of equipment please can someone help me to get my emails and the internet?

    Following my message of origin above;

    2 in 1 is a HP Pavilion x 2 11-hoo3sa 11.6 "F4T44EA #ABU

    I've updated the media tek 802.11 wireless LAN adaper pilot.  He advised to remove the previous Chuck but I did not do what was not sure where to locate it - is this possible now?  I had already updated the network wireless driver intel 7260 (who had made no difference) there are two other di network = River updates, but they do not seem to be related to my problem, so I did not download them.  I did have the chance to try the new driver but I have to go elsewhere to access the internet to communicate with you all.  If I assign a fixed address as suggested before that would mean that it does not connect when I'm anywhere else?

    I'm a pretty confident user of PC - the technical stuff moved from my comfort zone, but will try to follow the instructions.

    Help, please

    I had the same problem of intermittent WIFI connectivity, but only on an old router on holiday in Spain.  Everything works very well at home in the United Kingdom.  My flag is fully patched for drivers and windows 8.1.  I just couldn't connect to the router for more than one minute at best.

    the difficulty is to force the WIFI card to use the old WIFI Protocol:

    Device Manager-> network adapters-> Realtek RTL8188EE 801.11b/g/n-> properties-> advanced-> Wireless WiFi adapter is IEEE 802. 11 b

    probably because that HP haven written their system software successfully to detect old routers that supported the old protocols... like millions of people around the world use every day...

  • Problem with the Internet connection using IE7 and Windows Vista

    Hi all

    I don't know if I'm in the right forum, but I need someone, help please...

    I just bought a new XPS420 with Windows Vista Home Premium and IE7 already installed.  The 2-3 days, internet worked very well.  Now, whenever I open IE7, I get a message on the connection not found or something like that.  I did some research and some forums suggest to reset IE7 using Tools/Internet Options / Advanced.  It worked... but only temporarily.   After that I turned off my computer and turned back on later in the day, open to the top of IE7, it does not work yet.  If I turn off the modem, it does not.  If I do a reset, as shown above, it would work again.

    I finally called AT & T Tech support, but they could not diagnose the problem.  While we were on the phone and try to open and close IE7, and that is, I logged.  Then to test, I turned off the computer and turned it back on and of course, internet Explorer did not work.  The AT & T guy me open system information to check the properties of the network and all said that "this device works correctly.   He also suggested to disable my anti-virus program (I have preinstalled MacAfee), which I was very reluctant to do. So before you disable MacAfee, I tried IE and it worked, so I was happy.  I closed the browser and open it again and it worked; turned off the computer and turned it back and the browser did not work.  I already lost count how many times I had to do that!   When I click on diagnose the problem, I got a message on xxx.xxx.x.xx DNS. do not answer, as the server ping the remote host, but does not got a response.  On hearing this, the representative said that it must have something to do with Vista and that perhaps the OS has not been installed correctly and he suggested that I contact the place where I bought my computer and ask them to reinstall.

    He also asked me to install Firefox as an alternative.  When I did, it worked.  But IE7... at the time.  I could not afford to shut down my computer once again because I was already late to work, but I guess I'll find out later. But maybe I have to use Firefox if IE does not work.  I have not really tested who. Is the thing with Firefox, it is not compatible with our applications work as well as web pages, I am trying to access (I tried one before I left) a work t look the same and difficult to navigate. And it shows "protect on" on the lower right of the browser that performs the same way, he shows up on IE.

    Sorry for the long post, but I also need to evacuate.  The resolution could really be as simple as turn off the anti-virus?  But then, how to get us protected?

    Help, please!  I'm so desperate for a solution.  My mother also uses this computer to access its work files.

    Thank you

  • Satellite A100-906: slow internet connection with Vista

    Hello world...

    I installed vista ultimate and I must say it's great... the problem is that the connection to the network is so slow... on xp, I used to get speeds up to 4.5 kb on my connection dial-up... on vista, I almost reach 1.5 KB... can someone tell me what is the problem and how can I solve this problem...

    Maybe your TCP settings are not correct? Try searching on google for some tools that configure your tcp and internet settings correctly, then maybe you can solve it this way.
    BTW, I Don t think this is a related thing of material...

    Welcome them

    P.S.: Reinstall the drivers sometimes helps...

  • Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

    OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

    Hi PAM,.

    In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

    To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

    Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

    The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

    A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

    An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

    If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

    If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Intermittent Internet connection with WPC100 and WRT110

    I bought a router WRT110 wireless several weeks ago.  Used with my WPC55AG without any problem at all.  I liked the wireless-N, so I decided to upgrade to a Wireless N notebook card and bought a WPC100.  I can still connect to the router with the signal strength of 100%.  However, when you try to access the Internet, sometimes I can connect to Web sites, but I regularly get an Internet Explorer error message cannot connect to the internet, even if the signal is always 100%.

    Tried to go back to my WPC55AG and not to make any connection error messages.  Tried to connect to my router with my PSP and not to make any connection error messages.  Connected to another router wireless that didn't have WPA or WEP using my WPC100 and did not have any connection error messages...

    Any ideas?  Thank you!

    I changed my router settings as you suggested, with the exception of the security mode - I left it to WPA - 2 because I wanted the extra security.  It worked fine for a day, until I restarted my laptop...

    Then I tried to use your router suggested settings and set the WPA security mode and it works very well for 2 days and several reboots!

    Thank you very much for your help with this!

  • Internet connection using the stick of Novatel

    Can I install a Novatel cellular Internet key directly in my touchpad using a standard USB/micro USB adapter?  I get a Mifi unit instead?

    You can not.  You must use WiFi to connect the TouchPad to the Internet.  MiFi will work very well as lock as it is in infrastructure mode and no ad hoc networking.  Traditional routers like D-Link, Linksys, TrendNET and Netgear wireless are all infrastructure devices.  I guess a device MiFi is infrastructure, but check again.
