Here is an interesting question...I think.
My buddy has a Microsoft Network wireless router. He continues to
have a problem with droping his connection but only on his wired
connection. Meaning the CAT 5 running from the Router to the main
computer. The wireless portion does not have this problem.
He connect fine from his desktop, work for a couple of hours, go eat a
sandwich and come back to a dropped connection. He can then close
down his browser, restart and everything works.
I did a complete reinstall of his software (not because of this
problem, just annual house cleaning). Still same problem.
Now, I have connected it to my router...no problem
So I suspect a) cable
b) some setting in his router that I don't know about
c) bad router
Does anyone have any ideas on anything that I am over looking...I am
sure it is something simple.
TIA

I'm not a network professional but sounds to me like his router assigns
address via DHCP and it has a lease time.

I did a Microsoft Networking job one time, and there was a bug that had to
be dealt with. The message that I saw was:
"Microsoft Broadband Networking has a known compatibility issue with this
version of Windows.* For an update that is compatible with this version of
Windows, contact Microsoft Broadband Networking"
(* OS was Windows XP HE)
Only after I downloaded a patch, sorry, don't remember where it was, but it
wasn't hard to find, was I able to set things up properly.
re SBFan2000's response, yes, it could be a DHCP lease timing out, but I
believe that most DHCP leases expire in days, not hours or minutes.
Best wishes,
