Dropped Network Connection

by ielliott . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

Wasn’t sure where to post this, but here’s the deal. My computer drops my network connetion to the internet, and my local network i have setup. It seems to do this if there are multiple browser sessions and ftp connections going at once. I have to reboot to get the connection back. I did not have this problem before, but I just had my motherboard and RAM replaced so thats the only thing different. I am have a DSL connection and I have multiple computers going out through a linksys 4 port dsl router. When my computer drops connection the other machines can still get out to the internet with no problem. I will be replacing the network card to see if that make a difference, but I wouldn’t think it would work at all if it had a problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
