ok I have this problem staying connected to the internet....about a month ago I was forced to change service providers and have had nothing but problems trying to stay connected to the internet....I can log on but most of the time the minute I try changing websites the internet kicks me off. I then have to run my cache cleaner and CCleaner 3 or 4 times before I can try logging online again....I keep getting the same error messages which I will attach at the end of this description. I have run Malware Bytes, and Virus scan both with the updated definitions. I've tried resetting the modem. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers and the network adapter several times with no success.
Even typing this message I've been kicked off 3 times and had to start all over again

The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400
running Windows XP Home SP3
Using both Mozilla and Google Chrome
not sure what other information you need other than that....if someone has maybe an idea that I haven't come up with I would be greatly appreciated, as the laptop is pretty much my only form of communication since I lost my voice.

about a month ago I was forced to change service providers and have had nothing but problems

Who is the service provider ? That sounds like the problem to me the service provider.

I keep getting the same error messages which I will attach at the end of this description.

What's the Error message? Your attachments are blank.

Lets run a few tools.

Please download MiniToolBox http://download.blee...MiniToolBox.exe and run it.

Checkmark following boxes:

  • Flush DNS
  • Report IE Proxy Settings

  • content of Hosts
  • List IP configuration
  • List Winsock Entries
  • List last 10 Event Viewer log

  • List Restore Points

Click Go and post the result.

Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

Download TFC by OldTimer http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe to your desktop.

Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

* Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
* Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
* Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

Next

Copy and paste the text in the code box below into Notepad.
@Echo off
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0

Save as flush.bat to your desktop.
Double-click flush.bat file to run it. Your computer will reboot.

Note: For Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click flush.bat and select "Run as Administrator" .

Thank you so much for your help with this...I've been going buggy trying to think of something I might have missed other then the computer being 4 yrs older then moses (LOL)

I am going to go through and follow your instructions, but I wanted to let you know that I have a feeling the problems I'm incurring with this stupid thing is that the wireless network card is starting to go. This morning I enabled the wired network card this morning and the internet is working fine with no errors other then the occasional shockwave error I get in Facebook.

I will work on your instructions tomorrow morning and I will post all the results I get from that
Thank you so much again for your help

Hello dolface,

See how it runs for a while. If everything is OK no need to run those scans.

Thanks
Joe :)
