Random Drops from Connection

1280 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  rfam_1
The last few days my internet has been acting strange.

All my online programs *chats, downloads, browser, ect* will randomly act as if I'm not connected to the internet. This only last for a second and I will soon be able to reconnect. But, the problem is it happens once every one or two mins.

Also, the cable modem doesn't indicate that I've actually lost connection. I'm still very connected and the activity lights just keeps flashing away.

I've ran ad-aware and a good number of those online virus scans to no avail. Any thoughts and/or suggestions?

Thank you very much in advance.

Internet connection drop

mine drops more often than yours bro...i would not have connection for up to an hour even. to resolve the problem, i would have to log onto my router's interface and check the router status...then i would reconnect to the ISP. because i have an automatic IP address (via DHCP) i randomly get one.

why do you think that i get logged offline once in a while? everything in my PC is functional. is it because it has to do with the distance of my house to the CO (central office)? because when i do a bandwidth test, i would get close to 1.2Mbps....

would you say that this is an ISP issue? them not having an IP address for their customers?? i know for sure it's not on the CPE (customer Premise equipment...
