Why is it that my network connection drops out (randomly AND several times a day) to the point where:
1.) I cannot even access localhost
2.) I have to restart the computer to get the connection back
I run WAMP5 and WAMP Server 2 on Windows XP machines with no problems EVER. I have stayed connected for weeks on XP.
Here are some terms which I have searched for and have resulted in no helpful answers (maybe I can draw in some search engine attention and figure this out):
- Why does my network connection randomly drop out on Windows Vista?
- Why do I have to reboot my computer to get my dropped internet connection back in Windows Vista?
- Why can’t I access localhost when my internet connection drops in Windows Vista?
I don’t even want to get into home networking issues with Vista. Suffice it to say it blows too.
I have a really easy fix for you. Go buy a Mac.
Thanks for the helpful advice Ian, however I have two already.
Im having the same problems..having spent 3 days on the phone with Time Warner and Dell so far to no avail.. I wish we had bought a mAc..i hate microsoft now for sure. 1200$ on new laptop for a piece of junk.
Damn, that’s crazy…
