Low connectivity

[gastower]

I run windows XP with a Titanium antivirus firewall.Ater approx 20 minutes on line I get a message stating that there is low connectivity and Iloose on line connection & have shut down & reboot.I think it may be the firewall but can not be sure --any ideas? Regards Dave

How are you connecting? (dial-up, ADSL, Cable?)

How's your PC connected? Wireless? Physical network cable?

Hard drive is wired but in the connection is a D link ADSL router for juniors lap top. Am I right to be suspicous of the router? Regards Dave

When you get this "low connectivity" message click "Start > Run" type "cmd".

In the command shell type ipconfig /all

It'll spew out a load of oddity, scroll around until you see "IP Address" and it'll have something next to it like "192.168.0.1" if this address starts "169." type this in:

ipconfig /release
then
ipconfig /renew

Does this get you back on-line? If not reboot the router and repeat the ipconfig /renew command.
