Internet Connection troubles

stevebergen · 10-25-2008, 10:59 PM

Hi, I am having trouble with my internet connection, this only started a couple of days ago.

I am using cable internet that connects into a router to a laptop in another room then through a long cable to another router in a different part of the house. I have that routers set up properly to do this and the internet was working fine using that method.
The second router is a wireless router and my laptop does connect to the internet through it fine. I have this setup for my desktop computer. If I restart the computer is has internet for awhile then it quits, but utorrent is still downloading from peers.
I consider myself more then average in computer knowledge, but this has me stumped. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Stop using uTorrent and see if the issue stops. My guess is that it will.

I turned off utorrent and restarted the computer and waited a few hours, because it took about that long and the internet did not work. I do now that it is something wrong with my computer settings, and not the router.
