Since I installed Windows 10 I have had weird internet failures. It's bound to happen everytime I use the computer and the only way I'm able to "revert" it or "solve" it is by restarting my system.
I can't access any websites besides Google. And internet based applications like Discord, Hexchat etc is not working. And this just happens whenever, I can't link a specific action to this fault, I can be idle on the PC and suddenly it simply can't connect in any way besides to Google's domain.
Windows diagnostics can't find anything of course and I have updated all my Motherboards drivers.
I have no clue on what else to include into this post since I have no real clue as of what is happening or, why.
I also have tried multiple cables.
Thanks
1Did you check is there any problem with DNS in your network? Try
ping
,nslookup
andtracert
command to check. – Biswapriyo – 2018-02-19T17:04:16.450@Biswapriyo I have tried ping and nslookup on different sites and it all seems to work fine. – Benni – 2018-02-19T18:28:33.117
Have you upgraded to Windows 10 from a previous version of Windows? If so, then your driver might be outdated. – iTechieGamer – 2018-02-20T10:37:20.900
@iTechieGamer I have downloaded and installed all the latest drivers from my motherboards official support site. – Benni – 2018-02-25T20:35:31.350
Questions: (1) What is your network card and driver? (2) Do you have other connected devices and is this problem limited only to this one PC? (3) What is your router and its firmware version? – harrymc – 2018-02-28T13:38:55.787
@harrymc I simply use the network socket from the motherboard. Well I have a set of different devices connected such as a external audio-interface and the regular stuff such as mouse and keyboard. The router and it's firmware I can't really tell. But this is only occuring on my PC, all other devices in the house is un-effected. – Benni – 2018-02-28T15:24:43.620
Two checks : (1) Can you connect an external network card via USB, to check if the problem is with your network card. (2) If the computer is still usable for you when booting in Safe Mode with Networking, see if this is still happening, to check if some installed product is causing the problem. – harrymc – 2018-02-28T21:23:36.730
You should start a continuous ping (ping 8.8.8.8 -t) and when the internet stops working, if the ping continues working - Then you have a DNS issue - If the ping stops working, then we can look into the ethernet adapter on your PC followed by your router etc... – pythonian – 2018-03-01T00:40:53.473
first things first, make sure everything is connected properly on the physical side... wires and such. Then check your network config after it fails (ipconfig /all) and edit your post or post it here with all the info.
Just a side note, check in your power management in your network card in device manager and uncheck your "authorize this computer to turn off this device" – Fluffy Destroyer – 2018-03-01T22:44:52.900
It happened to me in Windows 8.1, and I fixed it by replacing my router. Really. – iTechieGamer – 2018-03-02T16:48:52.330
@Benni: Without answers to the above comments we cannot advance. – harrymc – 2018-03-04T18:25:24.083
