John asks:
Recently, my computer started losing its internet connection whenever the duration is over an hour. I have tried resetting the winsock and attempt to assign IP address manually, but after restart the problem still persists. It says the default gateway is not available.
The modem is fine and my network adapter is working properly, while the cable is working with no problems.
Could someone assist on this issue?
Thanks.

February 2, 2011Hello, this a possible fix for you:
– Start
– Right click Computer >> select Manage
– Double click Device Manager
– Expand Network Adapters
– Highlight the network card causing trouble
– Right click >> click uninstall
– Restart your computer
When if finishes starting up, windows 7 should be able to offer you a driver for your card. Run your computer with that driver. If that does not work for you, check with your motherboard or network card manufacturer to check if there is any updates for your network card.
It does not sound as if you have a router, but if you do check what the lease time is. It could be that lease is set for an hour and that is causing your problem. Change the lease time to a higher number or even a few days.
Do you have any apple software installed like Itunes or quicktime? Sometimes the Bonjour service has to be disabled with a delayed time to start so that it does not interfere with other services.
What brand of network card do you have? When windows 7 just came out there were a few issues with Nvidia cards. Check which one you have.
Check this link if you have an atheros card:

I’m using Realtek PCi Family Controller for my LAN network adapter, and Atheros for the wireless connectivity.
Thanks for the tip
February 2, 2011Go to control panel, System and Security, click on System, the Device Manager on the left. Click on network adapters, and then left click on your PCI controller, then click properties, power management, and uncheck the box that allows Windows to disable the adapter to save power.
October 6, 2011right click on the PCI adapter, sorry…
October 6, 2011Thank you! I’m not sure if my problem will be solved once I have never noticed if it just happened when I was only with batteries…I think that happens always but I’ll try what you just said!
March 22, 2012wow sweet thanks
October 15, 2011Extremely helpful, thanks a bunch….
February 3, 2012This helped a lot, my computer has been like this for over a year, cheers.
February 20, 2012Thanks man! easy fix
February 21, 2012Thank You Saint Elgato! That’s been driving me nuts for the past year.

February 2, 2011If you are running Windows Vista and your computer is in sleep mode before the problem occurs please install the latest service packs and updates.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933872/en-us
If you are using AVG Anti Virus please deinstall it and see if the issue is still present.
Besides of nVidia nForce the ASUS Onboard Controller are also known for having this issue.
Try updating the driver from either of their Support sites.
Try updating the driver as FIDELIS described (via Microsoft Update).

February 2, 2011Hi
Go into Atheros NIC adapter properties
1)Open Device Manager
2)Locate the Network Adapter
3)Right click, Properties
4)Go to Advanced tab
5) Locate the Task Offload (aka TCP offload) property on the list and set it to Disabled
After setting this property and applying the changes, the Internet connection should remaine stable and no longer dropped out when transferring large amounts of data.
try this driver
L1WinSetup_v2.4.7.29_WHQL.rar http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx
Flow Control ON
Task Offload OFF
Go to Control panel … then administrative options.
Then “services”.
Scroll down and find a service named “Bonjour service”. double click on this service, then disable it. Now choose “automatic (delated start)”.
Click OK then close everything and reboot, when you do, your network and internet connection should be fine.
Takes a lot to explain the problem but it is a service created by Apple that is commonly used in several applications to get your network card to configure itself
automatically to work with certain services. It does not play well with windows services as a rule, and delaying the auto start gives the windows services time to start prior to its activation at reboot.
or
Next go to local Area connections
Select Properties
In Network Tab – Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6(TCP/lPv6)
Highlight Internet Protocol Version4(TCP/lPv4) Click Properties
Go to General Tab
Select Use following DNS Server
Perferred DNS Server Address 4.2.2.2
Alternate DNS Server Address 4.2.2.1
Click “OK”

February 2, 2011Does it matter what adapter it is being used when you loose internet connection? Are you using wireless or wired?
Wired.

February 2, 2011Is it possible for you to post the following information?
- Operating System
- 32 or 64 bits
- Computer manufacturer
- Motherboard manufacturer
- If you have router: brand name of router
- Firmware for router
I’m using Windows 7 64bit, HP Pavilion dv6 and I couldn’t see the router since I’m only connected through the modem. I’m using my school’s modem, so I can’t access the physical device itself.
February 3, 2011Not having access to the router makes things more difficult to troubleshoot from that end. Have asked anybody else connecting the same way you if they have similar issues? Have you asked somebody to let you use their laptops for a couple of hours just to check if the same thing happens?
I read somewhere before that issues similar to yours were fixed by installing the vista 64 drivers. Give it a shot.
February 3, 2011Since you are using the school’s modem, I’d check with them. They probably have a timeout set at an hour. This is a normal action by schools when they get complaints from users that they can’t always get on.

February 6, 2011your download is corrupted?
In these cases you have to click Add Plug-ins, followed by Plug-in Gallery and search for the particular App you want.
You can either type it into the search box sitting right in front of you (after clicking), or you can browse through Yahoo’s Apps by category on the right hand side of the page.
Once you find the one you like, click “Try it now” and follow the prompts.
or
This error can occur in Yahoo Messenger 10.0.0.1270 and perhaps earlier versions. This error happens because, after a clean install of YM and on first connection, it attempts to download, install, and execute various scripts that work with YM plugins and various things. If these scripts are somehow prevented by the user from being downloaded, this error message will appear every time YM is connected
The solution to this problem is:
1) Stop preventing these scripts from being downloaded when YM connects (at least once), which will allow them to be downloaded and installed properly within YM. If you have a firewall such as ZoneAlarm, it may alert you that YM is trying to act as a server. Allow this connection.
2) With YM still open and connected, open the Plug-Ins Manager by clicking the “Add Plug-ins” button. Scroll down the entire list of plug-ins. There will be at least two plug-ins enabled by defailt. I think they are Yahoo Weather and perhaps Yahoo News. Disable all running plug-ins by clicking the red “stop” button beside them. Then close the Plug-ins Manager and close YM.
From now on, the SocialView error message should no longer display when connecting YM no matter what you do.
