Internet disconnects after 5 minutes
Internet disconnects after 5 minutes
- Hi I have been using my PC for a long time. I went away for the weekend and when I came back I recieved a problem. Every 5 minutes or so the internet stops working. There is no notification that a cable has been disconnected. When I type something into the address bar it keeps loading but the page never comes up. It's not my hardware or ISP because I booted another operating system (fedora) and it worked fine. A temporary fix I use is to unplug and replug the eithernet cable. But then the problem occurs again in 5 minutes.
Things I've tried:
1. disable internet card
2. set a static ip
3. ip/release ip/renew
4. uninstall internet card
5. restart router

Could it be a dns issue? Try going to start > run and type ipconfig /flushdns
