I have now humbled myself to asking the mighty THG Forum for assistance...
I have comcast high speed and I can surf and browse and play BF2 and gamble my life away with texas hold-'em all the live long day but if I start downloading a large file (like the Supreme Commander demo from fileshack) it will get about half-way through and my internet connection will die...and never renew till I reboot windows.
I have a Netgear 5-port Gig switch that was hooked into the modem then my box into that so I tried directly into the modem from my tower. That didn't work. I have dual Gig nic's on my mobo and I tried both of those and it still failed. I tried going into cmd and releasing the IP and renewing the IP and it won't renew. I tried using both Mozilla 2.0 and IE7 and it died.
My specs are below but something tells me this is either a windows issue (since it won't renew but will work once I reboot) or once again, nvidia sold me on a nforce chipset that doesnt work.
AMD X2 4200+
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
2GB DDR400 (2*1GB G.Skill)
evga 8800gts
WinXP Home SP2
Please find it in your hearts to help me...
