Hi everyone, Hope I can get some help here.
I've been having this problem for about 2-3 months now. Virgin broadband 2meg connection. Here's the story so far. I get up in the morning, startup pc, no internet connection. In network connections it say's "connected" but still no internet, and using run/cmd to ping www.bbc.co.uk etc. Produces nothing Click repair, works 2 out of 20 times. Disable connection then re-enable then click repair works 2 out of 20 times. Rebooting pc & modem does not help. I’ve updated & ran AVG, Spybot, Adaware and other system tools and all A1.
So, boot into safe mode internet is ok and all works fine. I then reboot into normal mode (without doing anything else i.e. repair etc.) internet still works, it will work all day, can reboot and still ok, even if firewall is enabled. Wake up in morning and have to go through the same sorry kafuffle lol. Virgin said it was xp firewall. (Don’t think so as I’ve never had problems with the firewall until now, and had the firewall disabled even as I was speaking to them) so they sent out an engineer who said everything was fine with their end, but fitted a new modem anyway. I've fitted new d-link pci network card, full format of hard drive, fresh install of XP and Virgin's broadband setup... still the same. Please help before I resort to attacking nice people exiting Virginmedia office buildings, haha. Have a lovely Sunday. Kind regards Charlie.
