A few time a day my connection will just drop? I am using a speed stream5100 modem and I have sbc dsl! I am using a (REALTEK RTL8139/810x FAMILY FAST) ethernet card that came with computer that I just bought 2weeks ago! I have no viruses or spyware on computer! Every thing will be fine and then I will all of a sudden have the connection symbol in my task bar with the yellow triangle over it and no internet but I will still have ethernet, dsl, internet light lit up on modem but no matter what I do can not get connection back until I unplug everything from modem power it down and reboot pc and turn everything back on and then its fine! There is no specific time that this happens it will do it in the middle of downloading or just sitting idle, surfing, email just when ever it wants to and its real bugging me! My MoM live real close to me and I set up her sbc dsl same way and she has no problems .....sorry for going on and on but dont know what else to do any ideas?
 
I think I might have found the problem...in the properties menu for my ethernet card there was a option to alow computer to turn off this device to save power and it was checked so I unchecked it...do you think this was the cause of my problem????????????
 
No it doesnt say that...I think I got it though in power management in the properties of my ethernet it had a box checked that said allow computer to turn of this device to save power and I unchecked it and I have had no disconnects since ;) :P :D
