I lose connection every 10 minutes

Yo, I have a D-Link Wireless Gaming Adapter (DWL-G820) that I hook up to my computer to access the internet from my router... I use Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC and when I start my computer the internet and anything having to do with an internet connection goes BLAZING fast, I mean INSTANT. After about 10 minutes usually, I have NO connection and my downloads come to a halt and internet browsing was a thing in the past... What I do to conquer this annoying loss of connection is log out and then log back in and everything is fast for another 10 minutes and then I have to do it again... what is wrong because im about to start throwing my computer stuff out the window.. Thanks

 

ive logged out and back in twice since i've posted this

 

?????????

 

It doesn' look lie anyone has an idea. Hopefully, someone who does, will drop in.

 

ok, since no one knows--me being as dumb as I am, I'll try..

I'm going to say ZoneAlarm.? You didn't say you were using ZA, but I have had this happen to me, and it was ZA.

Next suggestion, just to test the theory. If your not using ZA, but you do have a firewall installed. Try turning it off just for troubleshooting. See what happens.

 

Check your router settings to see if time outs checked

 

I don't have ZA and i uninstalled McAfee and it seemed to work for a good 6 hours of steady network, I thought that'd be the end of it but now once again every 10 or so minutes everything just dies (my downloads come to a halt, and internet browsing wont work for shit) im about to break things in half.. How do i access my router settings to check if "time-out" is checked?

 

also when I go to configure my Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC under the "advanced options" these are my settings...

Link Down Power Saving: Disable
Link Speed/Duplex Mode: Auto Negotiate
Network Address: Not Present (there is a option to enter a "value" but I'm not sure if that's the problem or what I should enter, it was originally on Not Present)
Optimal Performance: Enable
Receive Buffer Size: 64K bytes
WakeUp on ARP/PING: Enable
WakeUP on Link Change: Disable
WakeUp using APM Mode: Disable

If anyone knows if any of these settings are incorrect causing me to always lose connection and/or know what settings they should be on please help... THANKS =)

 

Hi, i've the same hw, same settings and the same problem..

 

I tried this, and it seems to work:

Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

 

check the mtu on the router ought to be around 1450 also we've had a prob with some cheap routers that have the timeout set to 5 mins they needed to be set to stay on
