i've been building systems for several years now and i've got a problem with my own computer. it's the only problem that i've ever had that i can't fix myself. at friend's lan parties my comp always requires some tweaking in the network settings to get it working. now i'm on a lan at college w/ a t3. the first time i boot up, none of the internet progs (explorer, aim, msn, etc...) will recognize a connection. i can't browse network neighborhoods either. but, when i go into network properties and change something, it doesn't mater what i change becuase i change it back the the exact way it was, just so long as i have to restart...then it works fine. it doesn't help just to restart from the start menu...network properties has to think i changed something. i've tried all the usual about reinstalling drivers and such...and i think i've gone through about five different nic's. all with the same problem.
on a related note, i think it's the same problem, when my computer has been on for a while (around 5 hours or so) all internet apps stop working. in some of my games it appears as though ip addressing has become disabled. but when i restart (through network properties) everything is fine again.
At the core of every system: "I'm sorry dave, i'm afraid i can't do that."
