Internet connection problems with Windows Vista
-
I am having trouble keeping a stable internet connection. Since programming web apps and testing them on an extern server I need a proper internet connection. I tried using static DNS-IP and putting off IP-6. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting. I tried logging off and on again. I tried reentering stand by and waking up again. I tried resetting/restarting the router. I tried flushing the DNS-Cache. Nothing worked! :mad: Only restarting Windows up to two times brings back an internet connection. Strange that my tray icon indicates a proper connection to the internet. Only when I try to access a web page or resource my browsers are saying "Looking up xyz ..." and I then only get a page load error or address not reachable message. :wtf: What can be done? :sigh: I am asking at CodeProject because I did not get an answer elsewhere.

Contact your ISP and take it up with them.

But no longer in 2009...I know this is not a tech support forum! And the problem is not on the ISP side. I got two other machines that do not have the problem. One is a Vista OS and the other a Leopard OS. I remember other developers at the corporate office that had a similar problem, but no solution either. Something might be wrong with the IP4 Protocol communication. Especially with the use of DNS addresses. Even if no other one has encountered similar problems, some hints might be usefull. For example, is there a tool out there to watch and/or analize the actual/running network communication (especially from a specific application)? :confused: :rolleyes:

Are you using DHCP? Can you ping or tracert external computers without problems? How big is your site? What troubleshooting have you done? And I'm not referring to restarting.
