Computers Loss Connection Come Back Oonly After Restart
Sep 22, 2005
I have 2 computer and a printer hooked up to a firewall then to the DSL modem. about once or twice a day either 1 or both computers loss connection and the only way to get them to come back up is to restart the computers. Other ways it happens are one will be down without Internet and the other will be working fine. Both computers are HP's running win XP. I am at a remote location that the store connects to. i can ping to the firewall and see it within a min of them calling me and telling me it is down. i dont ever see any errors or lost packets or anything on the firewall.
The things i have done.
1) I have replaced both computer 2 different times.
2) rewired the store with cables from walmart.
3) replaced the modem (replaced by dsl provider - they show the circuit is fine)
4) replaced the firewall
5) gone through hijack this logs even on a computer i set up for them the day before.
6) got a battery backup for the computer in the backroom.
I go to install a new machine (P4 1.9 ghz) with a fresh install of windows xp home w/sp2.It starts up fine,I go online and update windows to current security patches. Then after about 15 minutes, I lose internet connection, but just one that one machine. I've swapped cables with my working machines, and that doesn't help. I've swapped network cards (gone thru 3 now) and the problem persists. I've changed ports on the hub, still no change. I read it might have been a virus, but I've gone to 3 different virus scan services and come out clean.
after having good wireless connection,my desk top PC shows no wireless networks in range, although the wireless adaptor is shown as working,and connection to the router is ok from my laptop,how can I reset my desk top PC?,no,restore facillity available
We have one server and 14 computers here at where I work. Some of the people want to connect to their computer from home. I would like to use the remote desktop connection integrated with windows xp just because its easy to use. I tried to connect to my computer and got the server, how can I basically select the computer that I want to connect to.
After long periods of my internet connection being idle (2+ hours usually), all programs requiring internet access are unable to connect. By idle I mean I leave to run some errands with no programs other than Zone Alarm running. My DSL modem still has all lights flashing and active. There are a couple other scenarios where this occurs as well. Ex. I'm playing WoW for extended periods but not using the internet through any other program, then upon alt-tabbing no other applications are able to connect to the internet even though WoW is still connected and functioning. Rebooting the router/modem doesn't fix it, but rebooting the comp does.
I've a problem with my laptop - i have an internet connection configured on it, it operates on Windows 2000 Pro, and the computer randomly restarts a few minutes after i am connected to the internet. Its a DSL connection and the modem is configured and all, but every time, several minutes after i am connected, the laptop just restarts. No blue screen, no nothin', just restarts.Any friendly advice? Obviously would be very appreciated - i cant fix this problem myself for over a month now.
when ever i turn on/ restart/ start my laptop after hibernate , the PC just hangs if and only if the internet connection is on. So i have to power down my laptop, switch off internet, restart for normal working.I am able to login into my account, i see the desktop, and then the system freezes.There are no icons in the system tray except time. when i move my cursor over the system tray or taskbar, i get a busy hourglass symbol
I accidently hit the reset button on my computer while cleaning off the screen. the computer will not restart, it tries too, but keeps on coming back to the same screen, which asks me to start windows normally. I click on that, it tries to restart , then it comes right back to that screen. It continues to do this even if I don't click on the start windows normally?
I've recently formated my laptop, and in the other day i updated the internet explorer version (6) to the 7. After that i restarted the computer and the IE is now on the previous version which is the 6. This happens every time after i make the update
laptop would start acting sluggishly after a while of using it. This problem occurs at very random intervals but once it is occurred, the performance stays sluggish until the restart. Once I restart the laptop, the problem goes away until later when it repeats again. Sometimes this problem would not occur for 2 days.Mouse movement represents "stuttering" Dragging windows is not smooth. Window drags very slow, leaving half of image in the original spot and then "catching up".Program loading times seem unaffected. Playing music files during the performance drop produces delays in sound Running any videos during the performance drop produces "freeze and go" effect on videos.
I, whilst trying to connect to my university network, deleted my LAN connection and I have tried everything to get it back. I have searched the computer but it is no where to be found. I tried using the Create New Connection Wizard but could not create a LAN connection.
I go to appearance tab and change the size of my fonts under the desktop icons. I change the font size to 12. I click apply and it changes the fonts to 12. When I reboot, the fonts go back to the original 7 size. What do you think overrides the change.
I suspect I have an infection on my PC (win2000) but none of my tools are finding anything. TO recap, I did have the msblast/sasser virus but removed it a while back. Since then, I've had the infamous lsass.exe shutdown. Luckily, I have zone alarm firewall so the shutdown only occurs if I disconnect the firewall.I want to fix this once and for all so I downloaded W2k Service Pack 4 and the 'RPC' MS fix (Kb823980-x8-enu.exe). I thought that would fix the problem but no.I've also run other tools like stinger, vcleaner, spybot, adware, antivirus software. I keep the versions/dat files updated.At this point I'm not sure where to start so I'm posting the log results from hijack this. One thing I noticed is that svchost.exe process occurs 3 times. I seem to recall seeing cmd.exe pop up for a second and a 3rd occurence of svchost.exe followed right after.
While typing a document, a sound will occur and I will lose my curser. Subsequent typing does not appear on the screen. I have to click where I want to type to reset the cursor. This happens frequently while typing. This occurs in my Word Processor, in my email, or anyplace I type. I found that the Title Bar also dims at that time and if I click on the Title Bar the cursor will return. My operating system is Windows XP. There are no error messages.
I have a home computer with windows XP and I have lost my administrator rights. Most likely a virus or a hijacker has taken over but i cannot do anything to clean up the computer. I cannot uninstall, run the virus program or even reinstall XP. Is there anything I can do to gain access back to my computer.
I have a Dell PC running Windows XP that will not retain the date and time settings. Usually within a 24 hour period I have to go in and manually change the date from January 2003 to the current date and also put in the correct time. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
i'm running a custom built pc with windows xp home sp2, amd sempron processor 3300+ 2ghz, 10/08/2005-sis-760-6a7i7fkac-00 motherboard (according to aida32), 512mb ram. often, when i play an audio or video file, it plays perfectly well for a while (ranging from a few seconds to several minutes) and then audio is completely lost (also Internet videos only will play for 2 seconds after this happens). at first i thought that maybe it was a software problem, but it still occurs with each multimedia application i have. the sound returns on a reboot, but the problem still occurs all the time. any ideas about how to solve this?
also, on a slightly unrelated note, the pc also sometimes freezes; usually when several applications are running, bit it has been known to happen when barely anything is open. strangely, the cursor will not move, but remains on screen for a few seconds and then disappears completely. is this due to a lack of ram, or is there another way to solve this?i hope i have provided enough information.
Im trying to uninstall a program on works comp but even though ive signed in as myself(administrator account) and the default administrator account. but error message about having no administrator priveleges. Three other computers set up same time and exactly the same users are working fine. I can log in as Administrator, no problem. Running winxp pro sp2.
The state of my computer has been in steady decline. It all started when i got a message from my nortons internet security that winlogon.exe was trying to contact the internet.I ran hijckthis, i ran spybot, i ran ad-aware. fixed items i thought needed to be fixed. I don't know if it was before or after all this, but i began getting pop ups from sites i know do not have pop ups, like my own. ran all the programs again. the same offenders keep popping up... i have posted my logs on this site but sadly no one had responded.anyway, now every time i restart my computer, I get a dll error. every time it is a different dll. also, when on for an extended amount of time, say overnight, i lose internet connectivity, even though my cable modem is showing that there is lots of activity going on.can anyone givew me a clue what's going on, or where i can begin looking? should i just scrap it all and reformat my computer?
Windows XP forgets my folder view settings. Is there a fix? By default, Windows XP will remember the view settings for the 400 most recently used folders. After that, XP will begin overwriting the data of the oldest folder, and its view setting will be lost.
I'm running win XP SP2 and using media player 11. Every couple days I completely loose sound when playing mp3 or movie formats, although system sounds are working and on device manager my audio devices are working properly. So far I have solved this problem by continuously re-installing my audio driver.Can you help me with a more "permanent" solution?I would also like to understand if at all possible what is causing it.
All of a sudden, in the last couple of days, I find that I have to go through my Start>Turn off Computer > Restart twice in order for the computer to restart. Unfortunately, I've made a LOT of changes in the past few days (new programs, a system restore, windows registry cleanup, startup configuration changes, etc.) so I have no idea what caused this.
LAN connectivity simply dies- I can't access the internet, but for some reason, my Google Talk still has connectivity. The other computer connected to my router still works, however. It is only the first computer that gets this problem. (The second computer never has connectivity problems, BTW.) The problem can always be rectified by simply logging off and back on.
It's an Asus Eee PC 1501, which has Windows XP installed on it. All it is generally used for is to run XBMC, play music via iTunes and do a little web-surfing. I received some sort of error, the ones that you occasionally get were the dialogue box will generally ask do you want to send the error to Microsoft; 'Send' or 'Don't Send', etc. I normally take note but I was going to to turn off the pc anyway so I pretty much just ignored it (now I can't remember what error it was) and I shut down the PC as normal.
Today I started up my PC as normal, although I seem to have lost many functions. The system hangs just after the welcome screen on the desktop for a while (far longer than it used to. About 5 minutes) without displaying any icons at all.
I decided to launched a game, and realised there was no audio. I tried to bring up Volume Control from the system tray, and was greeted with the error "The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit." Didn't sound good. BTW, this was while using my Creative SoundBlaster Audigy SE card.The next thing I tried to do was to connect speakers to the integrated card and see if that worked.
I then went all out and uninstalled the Creative and Soundmax drivers and utilities completely, rebooted, and installed them both again afresh between reboots. Still no luck: Same errors. I also tried switching the PCI slot for the audio card as the previous slot was directly underneath the graphics card, but this didn't do the job.
A little background first. A new cheap NAS (Network Attached Storage) was obtained and files being copied up for a fast online second copy when we encountered this message."Confirm Stream Loss.The file 'App Training.avi' has extra information attached to it that might be lost if you continue copying. The contents of the file will not be affected. Do you want to copy the file anyway? In the past we used a Linux box and didn't receive such a message, but this new box is FAT32 based which not only has a 4GB filesize limit but we see we'll lose NTFS metadata along the way. The file itself looks to be fine.I'm a bit surprised I havent' run into this before but what bothers me is that further testing shows that you can provoke the message on backup to floppy, CDRW, DVDRW or many backup systems.
I brought a Lexar JumpDrive key memory of 256Mb. One day, after 6 month of use I saw the disk space was reduced to: 205,599,232 bytes196MB..There is a problem with the memory stick? Or is caused by using several USB mass storage devices?
I am working on a friends computer running XP PRO. When shutting down ie, clicking the Turn Off button, Windows always reboots as if Restart was selected.
i was attempting to resize my HD using partition magic i did not backup prior During the process my computer lost power. Upon rebooting i receive the following blue screen error message: a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to our computer if this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. if this screen appears again, follow these steps: disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentatio or backu utils. check your HD config, and check for any updated drivers run CHKDSK /F to check for HD corruption, and then restart your computer.
