Aso you have tried unticking the ipv6 box on the connection properties?

EDIT: Its not an nvidea network adapter by any chance is it? If it is update drivers as it may not be compatible with 7
Try also changing the Power Management settings under Configure in the network properties to stop the computer turning off the connection..

Hello.
I'll change it to dynamic The wife's laptop is dynamic, maybe who knows? right? I have unticked the IPv6 as well and my built in NIC is a realtek with the latest drivers.
Let you know how it goes.
Cheers

Hello greenbrucelee.
I would do that but I think it is not needed. Remember that we I loose my internet connection I have other pcs at the same time on the internet, like the wife's laptop is on facebook and playing farmville. Once she was on youtube watching a video when I had lost internet.
Cheers.

Dont forget that youtube buffers ahead of itself so you can realisticly watch a little while of it if your internets down. As for farmville I'm not sure but some games allow you to keep playing even though what you do will not be saved onto the server.

I understand what you are saying mate but nevertheless, when I got no internet connection I logon to my Cisco router and it's there, got an IP address for my dialler and all.

I have had the laptop in front of me and as soon as I lost internet on my pc, I used the laptop to check my online e-mails with no problem so, definitely I do have internet, it's just this windows 7 ultimate loosing it for some reason.

As it was referred before, it apparently is a well know problem and Microsoft has come with no answer to this yet.

Cheers everybody. Any more comments well appreciated and anyone with the same problem and a fix is surely more than welcome. This is killing me. I am really considering going back to my old XP Pro 64bit.

Hello everybody.
I am sorry that I haven't been here for a while. I have been busy studying for my A+ so therefore, really busy.
Anyways, it seems that I have sorted my problem.
I have changed my static IP address for a dynamic one. Never lost internet connectivity so far.
Hopefully it will stay this way forever.
Thanks to everybody.
