HELP! Internet connection lost after 10 minutes

Internet Explorer will lose connection after 10 minutes like clockwork. I know its not my internet provider or my router because other computers are connected to it. What is causing this?

thanks

is it connected via usb or ethernet. if ethernet could be a time out on card.

 

Thanks for the reply. Actually what I found out is that I had shut down my AntiVirus and Firewall. When I started them back up, it now stays connected! Now sure why, but it's fixed!

thanks

Hi everyone,
I really need some help with this one.

I have a very well updated PC running XP SP2 well patched with IE7.
I have run Trend Micro and spybot and there is nothing wrong on the PC.

After exactly 10 minutes of the PC being on, wireless internet connection is lost, BUT:

I can still telnet to my router so I know I still have an IP
BUT I can't access my router's http admin page (I normally can)
I also can't access any website at all on the web.

I have tried the following:

- Dynamic and Static IP setting
- Uninstalled all VPN and network related software (Cisco VPN, deterministic ...)
- Turned on and off windows firewall and rebooted each time
- Ran all kinds of malware detection and virus scans
- Disabled power management on network card
- Removed the 10 max TCP/IP connection feature of XP
- I've tried different PCs on the same network and they're fine
- Tried ipconfig release and renew
- Tried repair connection
- Tried netsh reset
- Tired FireFox and other browers
- Logging off and back in doesn't help, must restart to fix

 

Lionlopez - it's recommended that you start your own thread stating the problem and not use someone else's thread

Also, there is a Network support forum that this would best fit instead of placing it in the Software forum. Eventually a Moderator will move this thread or if you post in this forum it will get moved to the Network forum.

 

Thanks for the advice Ken3 but I am new to these forums and am having the exact same problem. I thought someone more knowledgeable could help. The "Firewall Fix" that the other person used was not applicable to me so I thought I would repost. Apparently not, Thanks anyway

 

You're welcome - just post your problem in the Networking Support forum. There are folks there that frequent that forum that can help you.
