It's your router.

Happens to me pretty often when peak usage is going on in my household.

Happens to my internet exactly when I open uTorrent. My mom's internet (which is shared with me) works perfectly.

Are you using Zonealarm as your firewall? Since the last windows update changes some stuff, so Zonealarm blocks the I-net... Shut down zonealarm and download the new version of it ate the support site and it should work again.

Hope this helps

Glad it helped.  :grin: I had the same problem, only that I tried to deinstall internetexplorer (thought that was the problem and windows couldn't boot afterwards :crazy: Got rid of that problem though  :lol:

Older home routers tend to get overloaded easily, especially by software that establishes dozens or hundreds of simultaneous connections as in bit torrent.  The typical fix is to turn on filesharing apps or get a decent router.  This is especially a problem in older d-link and netgear routers.

maybe so but that wasnt my problem... cause like i said... everything else connected to router was working fine...

I was just pointing out the answer to your question as to why someone would guess the router, clearly the problem in your case was you installed useless bloatware :D

I had that similar issue- My brother was playing WoW when it happened. I was the only one affected. Thus, it was probably your router. Sure, I'm running WiFi and get disconnects every few days, but this happens w/o disconnect.
