Problem stayin connected

[Gymrat]

I keep getting disconect from the internet. I'm using a high-speen connection (Rogers). I've phoned the tech support, and they can't seem to find anything wrong. Of course when I phone the connection comes back.

it happens every ten mntutes or so.

any help would be awesome.

thanks lad/gals.

Try the following things:

1. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there except TCP/IP Internet Protocol.

2. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings, make sure NOTHING there is checked.

3. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC from the manufacturer. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it is ISP dependent unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL (the instructions are in my Help & Tips link (http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=85224)).

4. Clear your temporary internet files.

5. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for atleast 15 seconds.

6. Download and update then do a scan with Ad Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com).
