For the past few months I have been having odd disconnections where there appears to be no pattern or cause to it.
Some days I can go without getting a single disconnection while other days I can get them every minute for a while. Sometimes the computer will regain connection just afterwards while other times it can take 30 seconds to recover or I have to re-plug my powerline adapter.
I have tried various diagnostics like changing the powerline adapter to another plug or another wall socket. I have tried changing cables from cat 6 to 5. I have swapped between my onboard nic connector and a dedicated nic card with the same result. I have even got an electrician out to swap out the wall socket's face plate.
I am beginning to think that it is the motherboard at the route of all this and some aspect of it is on its way out.
I am currently saving for a new computer (because of this issue) but I would like to resolve it. I do understand though that some problems can't be resolved and the only solution is new hardware.
This is the second time I've had to write this post due to a disconnection.

Hi,
I doubt it's any of the above and not the MB either.I have tried various diagnostics like changing the powerline adapter to another plug or another wall socket. I have tried changing cables from cat 6 to 5. I have swapped between my onboard nic connector and a dedicated nic card with the same result.

Could you have your provider check your connection ?

Thing is that none of the other computers in the house have this problem. I check them while I'm disconnected.

Sounds like a tricky one.
Long shot, but under Device Manager, check under Power Management that the "Allow the comp to turn off this device...." is unchecked.

Hi,
OK. That rules out the network provider.
I suspect it's either a NIC driver problem or a network protocol problem. What's odd is that you have this problem on both onboard NIC and NIC card.
So I suspect it's a configuration problem on both.

What aspects would be common to both of them?
I've just updated the driver to the nic card going from version 9 to 10 (published this year) but it still disconnects.

Did you check the power management? The default setting would probably be common to both. Only takes a second to check.

Hi,
You beat me to that one....Did you check the power management? The default setting would probably be common to both. Only takes a second to check.

Yes I've disabled the power management on the nic card.
EDIT: I've just switched from 1gb full duplex to 100mb full duplex testing to see if it gets overloaded.

Hi,
Can you set it to half duplex ?
Either 100Mb or 1Gb, doesn't matter.
Cheers,
