yakkob 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Ok, Recently bought a new pc, (Specs in the general discussion thread - but doesn't matter). PC has BlueTooth, Wireless, 1394, 10/100 VIA VT6105 Network Card. LAN works fine, but as soon as I start opening webpages (I connect through a dsl504 router), the connection dies, for about 5 mins, then kicks in again. Soooooo, I'm thinking, update drivers for the VT6105 - Didn't work I then install a PCI 10/100 - Same problem (weird) I then disable the bluetooth, and the wireless, and vt6105 and leave the pci running the lan. Connection seems to last longer. Now, I don't know about you lot, but when i surf I will open various forums, and open them all in many tabs in Firefox (thats how i surf) (on a side note, connection still the same with IE). I then get to thinking about XP SP2 and how it limits connections, and I reckon I am well over the 10 connection limit imposed by Microsoft. So I download the latest XP-AntiSpy 3.91, which allows you to specify unlimited etc. And, whadda ya know....RESULT!! I just want to know if this has caught anybody else out, and if after reading the above you agree, or am I totally off tangent. I await your thoughts. Share this post Link to post
yakkob 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Just a quick update on this problem. I forgot to mention I also flashed the mobo (not that that's the cure) Anyways, the problem might have been to do with my ISP (which makes a lot of sense), but I was on another pc surfing. But I didn't give it enough testing. Needless to say, I still have the other network cards disabled (don't use 'em) and everything is hunky dory. The more I look at this problem, the more I think it could be my isp end. Anyways... Comments, if you feel like it.. Share this post Link to post
