Hey guys my net just randomly drops. I'm using a wired modem and router. I have an xbox 360 and ps3 hooked up as well as my PC. I've tried three routers, 2 brand new out the box, and hooking the cable directly into the xbox 360 and ps3 and the same issue arises. Every few minutes, the net will just stop working. I typically get "connection timed out" or DNS errors on the PC when it's connected. I went as far as to install Windows 7 today because I wanted it and I also want this resolved. I was using Vista. The lights on the modem never go out though.
I was able to resolve the issue over the weekend and was online all weekend but it started back late Sunday night. What I did that seemed to work was delete Bonjour because I heard it might cause issues with Vista. I never reinstalled though, not back on Vista or Windows 7. Should I get comcast out here to check the modem or the lines? I don't see how that could be the issue.
Here is my ipconfig info below (I deleted the numbers):
