I have a problem with using the internet on my desktop computer. It never loads any pages while at the same time, my laptop can browse the web at my usual speed. How can I fix my internet problem on my desktop?

Also if I turn off the power for my modem and turn it back on, the internet works for my desktop.

What browser do you use?
Did you try different browser?
Did you try to reinstall network adapter driver?

Did you try different browser?
Did you try to reinstall network adapter driver?

I used both Firefox and Google Chrome and both don't work.

How would I reinstall the network adapter driver?

[Broni]

Go to your computer manufacturer site and download network card driver.
Uninstall current driver and install fresh one.

[Edwin105]

Can you guide me through this

I have an HP model a6230n

[Broni]

Here is your driver: http://h10025.www1.h...r...96&sw_lang=
Download it (sp35129.exe)and don't do anything yet.

Go Start>Control Panel>Device Manager
Expand "Network adapters" section.
You should see nVidia nForce Networking Controller there.
Right click on it, click "Properties", then "Driver" tab.
Click on "Uninstall" button.
It may ask you to restart computer to complete operation.

After reboot, double click on downloaded sp35129.exe file to install new driver.

[Edwin105]

Well I press uninstall and it asks if I want to delete the driver software for this device.

It's normal warning.
Please, proceed.

[Edwin105]

Hmm.. It seems like I don't have this problem when my laptop doesn't connect to the internet first. (As in I turn on the internet, then my laptop, and then my desktop)

Anyways I'm reinstalling the driver

Edit: I uninstalled the driver and rebooted, but it's still there and I'm able to connect to the internet. Is this normal? Continuing reinstallation. . .

I guess, your wireless connection still works...

[Edwin105]

I just can't help but to think my laptop is the cause of this..

[Broni]

I'm not sure, what exactly you're saying, but is the installation finished?

[Edwin105]

The installation finished and rebooted after that.

I'll give you 2 scenarios to show what I'm saying.

Scenario 1 : I turn on my modem and it loads completely. Then I turn on my laptop and it connects to the internet, achieves 200-300kb/s. 30 minutes later I turn on my desktop and I can't get speeds over 5kb/s on my desktop. To fix this problem, I would have to restart the modem, and everything works fine. (Desktop and laptop achieving 200-300kb/s)


Scenario 2 : I turn on my modem and it loads completely. Then I turn on my desktop and it connects to the internet. I can get speeds of 200-300kb/s. 30 minutes later I turn on my laptop. The desktop still achieves 200-300kb/s and so does the laptop. So there are no problems in this scenario if I turn on my desktop first

Hmmm....I suspect, either your desktop ethernet card is going bad, or the modem is going bad.
New card - ~$15
New modem - with most IPSs free

[Edwin105]

Well recently my dad moved the modem to a different room - the ethernet cable connects to another cable which connects to the modem (something like that)

Could that be the problem?
