Problem - Windows 7 loosing internet connectivity!

[albertc30]

Hello everybody.

Has anyone experienced this problem? I have windows 7 on my PC and at the beginning it was a very nice experience however, for the past month every so often the connection to the internet just goes. It really annoys me to see a page taking forever to load and when you look to the lower right hand side corner of the screen only to see the yellow triangle with the exclamation point on it, it drives me mad.
I have goggled this and have found out this to be related to adobe bonjour service? that must be disabled. I haven't got this service on my pc. Others say that it's because the IPv6 is checked and it's causing the conflict.
Done many changes to my system, including stopped all services that I did not needed and to no avail.
Anyone have had this problem and how was it sorted?

I found this amongst many other ones but nothing really helped solving my problem.

Any help appreciated.

Have you tried updating your NIC drivers?

How is it connected mate?
Wireless or wired?

Wired mate and forgot to say that the wife's laptop has windows 7 and this doesn't happen on it.
It has windows home premium and mine has windows 7 ultimate.

Could be the ethernet cable or some AV/Firewall software you have installed? Have you looked at that? Have you tried switching the cable over to a different port on the router/switch?

What does the event log say?

I have been using 7 since it was released, running RTM as soon as it came out on Technet and I haven't had any issues with it at all (infact I don't use Vista anymore on any of my machines).

Check the ethernet cable clip on both sides,
Check the router interface for time limitations and mac address filtering,
Check firewalls
Check the telephone sockets connected properly and you have the filter inplace for the phone

Try maybe disabling the connection and enabling and renewing IP

Other than that mate I cant think of anything else apart from a firmware update on the router?
Sorry just read about the other windows 7 working, ignore the firmware update

When this happens can you ping the router?

[madskillz]

Are you using static or DHCP IP?

Well known and apparently as yet unresolved issue

Yeap mate, no problems there. I can ping my NAS PC, my Cisco 1721, my wireless access point and I am using static IP configuration.
When this happens I logon to the router and the internet connection is active. Not to say that when mine looses internet, the wife is on the laptop on facebook playing away on her farm.
So, I know for a fact that the internet is there and alive.
I have done so many changes here but to no positive result.
Cheers.

Done all of that and still it happens. I have no problems whatsoever on my local network everything works.
My other pcs running XP has got internet no probs, the lattop with windows 7 home premium is ok, just on mine with windows 7 ultimate this happens.

Try changing the static connection so it obtains everything automatically. I have windows 7 ultimate on this pc and I havent experienced this so to be honest mate I'm baffled.
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..

Try something really simple like changing the filter thats plugged into the phone line.
