network connecting problem

[Rubber314Chicken]

On my comp, sometimes it will randomly disconnect from my lan network, but when I restart the comp, it is all good. I have my network setup for static ips, and none of the other comps will do that. Why is this?

well does your provider provide you with a static IP?

try new Network card drivers.

i belive what he means is the network ip's are static. I could be wrong tho.

yeah network ip's it wouldn't matter if his external is static or not

yeah, new work provider is dynamic, and thats how its set up. the actual network in my home is static.

and yeah, I have all the drivers installed, i think. (lemme check)


yep, all installed.

have you tried updating your drivers, or even just reinstalling the ones that came with the CD?

 

[Rubber314Chicken]

no. i'll try updating them.

just updated from 8.46.xx to 8.56.xx
Hope the new drivers work.
