| 1299582 | 2012-09-08 00:37:00 | I havent tried a boot disc (as wainui suggested) because not sure if that would clarify anything for me. So at this stage I'm not sure where to go from here? What that does is bypass the windows Operating system. If it connects and is solid with a live CD then 99% of the time its a driver issue in windows. As mentioned before, as long as its not some odd ball driver that Ubuntu doesn't have then if the Port is OK, it will connect. If it still randomly disconnects on a live CD then its hardware related / failing port. Seen it quite a bit where corrupted / damaged Drivers will cause all sorts of connection problems. Installed A PCI network card and the problem still exists. What you are trying to do is determine is it a hardware problem or software. No point in buying another Card if the original port isn't faulty. |

| 1299583 | 2012-09-08 02:50:00 | Yes I see where you are coming from Wainui. Luckily I looked in my graveyard and found a couple of pci nic cards, installed one, updated the driver for it and have been connected with no drop offs for over an hour now. Will be monitoring this but at this stage at least it looks positive. Thank you to everyone for your comments and suggestions ... they are really appreciated:) |
