IPCONFIG did work. went back to machine and it was there. Just took a loooooooong tie to run.

Ok I have been reflecting.
On all three reinstalls the problems started when I tried to run Auto update.
The last install I went directly from reinstall to SP1 then SP2.
Up until that time the BB connection was fine. I then setup the AV and Firewall and loaded email program. still good.
Once I had those setup I then told it to download updates. That is when the problems started along with the frozen updating. If I recall correctly the same sequence occurred on the other two times.

843653 2009-12-28 21:53:00 OK well WTF.
Used System Restore and took the system back to the point where SP1 and SP2 had finished installing.(before installing anything else)
BB connection present and stable.
System is presently downloading (succesfully) updates. So will not touch anything.
From here I previously installed Comodo and MS essentials. Bit scared to do the same now. Maybe comodo is problem???

Modem is Dynalink rta230.
Wireless router(when connected normally) is Belkin F5D6231-4

843656 2009-12-28 22:31:00 Thats probably WHY you get dropped. Using a separate modem and router can cause all sorts of probs. Buy a wireless modem/router in one (if you want wireless) Speedy Gonzales (78)
