Ok so I don't know if this is the right forum to post but I'll give it a shot...if anybody can help me or point me in the right direction that would be great.
I am currently in a hotel and using their wired internet connection.....a few days ago I began having problems with it..
1) It would not connect or if it did connect it would drop off after 10 or so minutes...I would pull the cable out or enable/disable my network adapter and then it would come on and stay on for another couple of minutes or so then drop off again...I would repeat above steps and it would work, then drop off...so on and so forth.
2) Sometimes IE would stop working but my MSN messanger and Yahoo messanger would work till I logged out of them but when I tried logging on they would not work until I performed the steps above...the other day I had World of Warcraft, MSN and Yahoo all working but IE would connect on and off intermittently...it would connect for 5 minutes..then stop, then connect again like 10 minutes later...then stop
I had the hotel people come and look, they reset the switch in the server room but it didnt change anything...internet worked for 5 minutes then stopped and went back to the above scenarios..
Strangely enough the wireless works fine...just don't know what's wrong with the wired access
I have looked up the history logs in NIS and found nothing abnormal...it would say that the IP address would disappear and then appear again although when I was running MSN and Yahoo it didn't mention anything about me not being able to get on IE except to say that IE was trying to connect.....How would I check to see it was a problem on my end...NIS firewall or some other program interrupting my wired internet access?
I am running Win7 64 bit with NIS 2012...
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks
