Odd connectivity issue

[nismotigerwvu]

I was debating if this might belong more in software for windows or not but here goes.

System specs:
Phenom II 955 BE (stock clocks/volts)
2x 4GB DDR3 1600 (stock timing/clocks/volts)
Asus m4a79T deluxe (realtek 8112 gig-e lan)
Ceton InfiniTV 4
1GB 4850

All drivers/software are up to date and this is running on a fresh install of W7. The cablecard tuner is designed to be seen as a network device to the system. When it is configured, it creates a network bridge between my onboard ethernet and the the tuner. For the most part, everything works fine with some odd exceptions. If I open Chrome or Skype, my network connectivity cuts off instantly but can be restored by closing the program and dis/re-enabling the ethernet device. I've searched high and low and really can't find anyone else having this issue. I've tried disabling the IP helper service and disabling IPV6 on all the network settings but I can still repeat issue every time.

Well I can understand how a gateway request from a browser or even Skype may interfere, however it cant be designed to do that....I would suggest a support ticket on the web-site!

Just submitted one, also I wanted to clarify that I have tried replacing the cable from the router to the system as well with not noticeable effect. The more, I think about it, the more it seems software related. If I disable the network bridge, the issue goes away (but I also can;t use my tuner any longer that way).

Are you assigning any of the tuners to other PCs?....I can understand the bridging requirement there but not if all tuners are assigned to the host PC

 

[nismotigerwvu]

Two are assigned to my HTPC and one to another PC in my guest room with the last one assigned to the host.

Hi,

The solution to the problem is very simple.

The first step is to check the modem and replace the damaged part.

It is important to buy the spare part from the manufacturer itself.

Second: go to system properties in the system and select the option that says ‘wireless’.

Third: Go to my computer and select ‘properties’ then go to hardware and select the ‘network adapters’ from the list.

Select the drive of the wireless and downloading it from the manufacturers site.

Once it is saved double click on it and follow the steps to install.

Once the process is over the number of times the wireless connection suddenly dropping should stop instantly.

The problem would be solved! Agreed that this is a time consuming activity and also something that is worth the effort.

The time invested once will ensure that a greater amount of time is saved in the long term.
