» Sat Aug 02, 2014 1:10 pm I had this Windows 7 office computer that was giving me some trouble. I tried several things to no avail and thought maybe the network adapter was bad. So I actually just replaced the computer with a new one but the same problem is occurring.
This computer loses network connectivity often. If I ping two different computers simultaneously from this trouble computer, the pings will fail and succeed at about the same time (will successfully ping both for a minute or so, then both will time out for maybe 20-30 seconds). This is a major problem as some software we use requires a constant connection to the server.
Drivers are up to date, can ping 127.0.0.1, replaced the ethernet cable... I'd like to think maybe the wall plug/port is bad, but I can ping that trouble computer from other computers without any interruptions. So if it were the wall plug wouldn't it have the same result both ways?
Firewall and antivirus is deactivated. Can surf the internet just fine... Although if I ping google.com, it mostly succeeds but times out fairly often as well, not really at the same time as the local network time outs... sorta random.
I'm pretty baffled by the funky situation and would appreciate a second opinion.
