when i start this computer it will go on the internet and i start surfing and then it disconnects after about 5 minutes and won't reconnect until i reboot and then does it again. when i double click on the icon in my system tray it shows connected but sent and received show the same numbers and do not change. i am useing a dsl connection and my other computers work fine. i have run my scans through avg and installed adaware and ran scans. i put the computer on a different network and the same thing happend. i cleaned out my history and cookies. someone on the internet told me there was a update from avg that caused this type of problem so i ran a repair installation from avg website. http://www.avg.com/f...m-1561#faq_1561 . just for fun i decided to go into safe mode with networking and log on to the web. still does the same thing, don't know if that helps. i ran microsoft updates and installed them.
thanks,
greg

Hello gregkegler and welcome to Geeks to Go!

I can think of a few reasons for your PC to do such a thing. Lets go through them one at a time
First, I want to check if the drivers are OK

So, lets see if you have any errors in the device manager.

• Go to Start -> Run.
• In the Box, type in "devmgmt.msc".
• Now look in that window, can you find any "?".
• Please tell me which devices are marked with a yellow "?".

Regards,
Olrik

no yellow marks. under network adapters 1394 net adapter has a red x and realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC has no red x. both adapters were enabled when i started this problem so i disabled the 1394 to see if it made a difference, but it didn't help.

i am adding my hyjackthis log:

HJT log removed - they're not allowed in this forum, and it's not needed for this issue.

Hello again gregkegler,

The 1394 adapter is your Firewire.
After your internet disconnects, are the lights on your network card still flashing?

Olrik

[gregkegler]

yes, green is solid on and yellow flashes.

just as an fyi when i tried to do a restore point it came up with an error message that it could not do it because copmuter was missing .Net Framework: V2.0.50727. don't know if that has anything to do with it but just in case.

[gregkegler]

just as an fyi i installed .Net Framework: V2.0.50727. and solved that issue but it didn't make any difference on the internet issue.

I am so sorry I haven't replied sooner.
Your topic got lost in my e-mail replies.

Have you maybe called your ISP yet?
I think this -might- be a defective router.

i have another computer on my network, on the same router that works just fine. so i do not beleive that the router is the problem. i have allso hokked this up to a different internet connection and it does the same thing.

Do you have a firewall installed?
Does your router perhaps have a firewall built-in?

I have physically taken the computer to work and hooked it up with the same results so i don't think it is the router firewall. i have windows firewall and it is on. i have avast antivirus installed and i don't see a firewall on it. i am not sure if avast has a firewall.
