Default Keep losing Internet connection

I have this problem with Vista where it keeps dropping my internet
connection. I have gone as far as using a different card (I was using my
onboard nic, and switched to a linksys pci nic card), and manually entering
the ip and dns information under ipv4. Things go fine for awhile and then it
loses connection and only restarting seems to aleviate to issue until next
time. There seems to be no pattern or timing on the issue, its quite
sporadic. When this happens, I cant even find connect to my router. I have
tried a different router too. Help please, this is getting quite old.

It could be the router or DHCP issue. This link may help,

Default Keep losing Internet connection

Well the problem is that the connection is fine for awhile and then just
drops for no apparent reason. I can surf fine all day and then in the middle
of surfing the net, it just drops the connection; usually just drops the
internet connection and not local network connection. So I have a hard time
believing that the router is incompatible since it works most of the time.

Default Keep losing Internet connection

Hi,

I have the EXACT same problem. I recently discovered the power management
settings may be the problem. I'll update you if I find a fix myself,
meanwhile if anyone could help that'd be great.

Default Keep losing Internet connection

Hello,

If this is the same problem that I am having, then it is a Windows Vista
issue and needs to be fixed.
I have a dual boot system and periodically when I boot up into Vista I have
no internet. If I then boot into XP everything is fine. I can boot back into
Vista and I will still not have an internet connection. I go back into XP
and...voila...everything is fine. I have a suspicion that this may have to do
with the way that Vista handles errors and service interruptions. In any
case, XP, 2000, and my Mac are having no problem connecting so Vista
shouldn't either.

Regards,

Corey
