Solve : Explorer stop finding sites after a while (cable)? |
|
Answer» Hi. I have a cable modem connection in a PC. When I turn on the pc Internet explorer works fine but after a while of surfing, it stops finding sites. It always send a message as if the net were disconnected. I have to restart the pc to be able to see pages again, but after a short perdiod of time (that is not always the same) It start to send the message "The page can not be shown" (well, in spanish it said "No se puede mostrar la pagina") I click on "detect net settings" but nothing happens. I have try connect the modem via USB (it's a motorola SB5100) and via Lan, with the same results. I also noted that when this happen, the receiving bytes in the conneccion status windows, just freeze. THe sending count stiil go up, but the receiving is idle and just not change anymore. You have a nasty, do the scans.sorry, what do yo mean with "do the scans"?AVG AntiVirus Ad Aware Spybot CCleaner All are free, just google for them.mmmm I just had format the hard drive and reinstall W2k SP4 and IE6 (a guy install linux without permision of the owner) No strange software installed, only the "Out of the box" apps. No internet connection since then (two or three weeks ago) My friend (the owner of the PC) just installed a demo version of Norton that works untill january on next year. She said to me that no viruses were detected (I didn't run it by myself) But I will the scans just in case.... I'll use Adware and AVG... But I had a similar problem in a Laptop (in similar circumstances, Nothing in the lap but windows) but with a modem connection, that's why I think the problem is with explorer. I never was able to solve the problem in the laptop, because I thougth it was an ISP problem, and actually i almost not use that lap for net connections, but now, i'm not so sure.... Do you think this could be a bad config. settings or something? Or this just happend with nasty software?Do you have a firewall of any kind? Has this cable modem been used successfully with other computers? Have someone come over and give it a try. Quote I'll use Adware and AVG... Not enough, get Ewido at the very least or better STILL... Download, install & update... CLEANUP Ccleaner ANTI SPYWARE Ad-Aware Spybot S&D Microsoft Antispyware (W2k & XP) ANTI VIRUS AVG Free (Set options to 'scan all files') ANTI TROJAN EWIDO (W2k & XP) Turn off System Restore if applicable. (ME & XP users) Run Ccleaner Run Ad-Aware Run Spybot Run Microsoft Antispyware Run AVG Free Run Ewido Re-start in Safe Mode Re-run AVG Free Re-start in Normal Mode Turn on System Restore if applicable. (ME & XP users)Nop, no firewall. The cablemodem has not been tested with other computers, but it is the one that the ISP "rent" to my friend (here, in mexico, this is very commun, you have not to buy the modem), so,, it sholud work fine... Anyway, the internet connection works for a few minutes, and it is very fast, but after a while, it just sopt working.... so, the modem actually works.... I will try all the scan that fed recommend, to see if a can find something strange.... ThanksNop, no firewall.

Since it is rented, they may have an automatic limit to prevent theft or MISUSE. Check with them. Su abastecedor de Internet (ISP) puede trabarle hacia fuera después de cierta cantidad de tiempo. Puesto que se alquila, pueden tener UN límite automático para prevenir hurto o uso erróneo. Compruebe con ellos.
