I am having issues with my small home network, a few days ago it started loseing connection to the internet (I have adsl to a modem/router connected to 2 computers). It turned out not to be the internet connection, but for some reason seemed to be losing connection to the router, or the network as a whole as i am unable to ping the router.
It is usaly ok for a few minutes after boot up but then just stops responding and i can't get anything on the network. Sometimes disabling the network then reenablling it works, but after a few mins again it goes dead. Clicking repair on the network has the same effect, although sometimes it displays the message (something like) "unable to renew IP address" at which point its unlikly anything short of a restart gets it going again.
Ihave the latest drivers for my nic (which is a d-link) and i have tried changing the nic as well. I have tried deleting the nic from device manager and reinstalling.
The IP's are automaticlay assigned and i have tried setting them static as well, but to no avail. This is really annoying as i really need to net to do my work, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know (formating is not an option at this point)
