Does anybody have a reference for a computer repair service I can call to assist with this (in Canada)? At this point I've tried virtually everything, and can't figure out what's wrong. Any recommendations of a company I can call and bring my case to them and have them look at it. I'm also...

So I ran the troubleshooter again, then did the "view detailed information": Network Adapter Publisher details Issues found An Ethernet cable is not properly plugged in or might be broken An Ethernet cable is not properly plugged in or might be broken Fixed Plug an Ethernet...

Okay so I should change the preffered DNS to 8.8.8.8 correct? For the IP, is that a bad address? Can/should I change it or is it not really affecting anything? Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestions. Turned off IPv6. For the DNS settings am I changing the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway? Or the Preferred/Alternate DNS server? Also what do you mean when you say ping the router IP? Is that where I go through Command Prompt and type "ping 8.8.8.8" (after...

Will do. Hope to be able to reply soon. Thanks again!

I haven't forgotten about this. I've just been unlucky that when the disconnect happens and I run the troubleshoot, I'm usually getting the DNS problem message, and then by the time I run it again the internet has come back online. I'll keep trying until I'm able to get back to that "Plug in...

I don't really understand the line diagram, but I'll give it a shot: Coax cable comes through the wall (assuming from ISP), and connects to the router/modem, which I then plug an ethernet cable into the port (labeled ETH 1), which I connect to my PC ethernet port. I took pictures but not sure...

Okay, happened sooner than expected! So I got disconnected, ran the troubleshoot: -First time, it said it could not find any problems so I ran it again -Second time, it said: "Plug an Ethernet cable into the network adapter "Ethernet" An Ethernet cable looks like a telephone cable but with...

Correct, it'll just disconnect (kick me out of whatever game I'm playing and show the globe icon instead of the connected internet icon), then within 1-2 minutes it will reconnect on its own. I wouldn't mind this if I wasn't gaming on it, because it will kick me out mid-session, usually in games...

Thanks again. I don't really have important data on this PC. I only use it for gaming (Steam, Battlnet, etc). In terms of data, I only have recordings of game sessions, which I can live without. I'll probably back it up anyway though. I'll run those repairs and get back with my results...

Thank you for the suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1)Bought a Cat5e 2)Done 3)...

I bought my PC build a year ago now, and ever since the first time I turned it on and connected via Ethernet I always get disconnected within the first 30 minutes to an hour. It happens so consistently that I've started launching games and just waiting for it to happen rather than start playing...
