Hi,
For the past month or so my connection keeps getting lost whenever two computers in the house use the internet. We're connected to a 5 port switch and the switch is connected to the Modem. When both computers are online, mine keeps disconnecting, but the other one is fine. Whenever the other ethernet cable is unplugged, then mine is alright. We used to have 3 connections on at once and the same problem would repeat until the 3rd connection was cut off. But then the other two computers would be fine, other than a slight slowdown in speeds. I'm beginning to wonder if I should reinstall my computer. The computer I use is a Windows 7 Ultimate, the other one is Windows XP Professional (Sp2 I think). I tried changing the IPV4, but nothing seems to change anything. I figured that I'd do ipconfig and here is what it says.
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

The other computer has similar results except that the IP ends at 3 not 2.
I have tried changing the configuration, but the problem still persists.
What am I doing wrong? How do I stop my Internet from constantly disconnecting?
Speedtest.net shows: 145 ms
Down: 5.22mbps (up to 10mbps)
Up: 0.83mbps (up to 3mbps)
This is the average result when the other connection is off. When the other connection is on then Speedtest.net hardly even opens.
In fact the connection becomes as bad as Dial-Up, but probably even worse. Is ESET NOD32 the culprit here? I just can't find the solution.
