Random losses of internet connection
alright here is the situation and it is really getting frustrating since I cannot find out what the problem is.
I installed Battlefield 2 and played it supurbly for about 3 days and then I lost my internet connection. But this is the weird thing about it. I looked at my modem and all the lights where green (cable modem) and it showed actitivty(yellow flashing light).
The setup:
Cable modem---->Linskys 4 port router---|
Linskys router
1--->to my other router just has a power cable I think it's really a switch
a. to my computer b. to my xbox c.empy d. empty uplink from main linksys router.
2--->My Dads computer
3--->The stupid internet phone I don't remember the name of it right now I'll edit it in later.
4---->to the print router
print router---->(I think)---->
1.to another old computer for my siblings.
2.
3.
4.
I thik the print router is a 4-port
Main router uplink
>cable modem
So what happens I will be online not playing bf2 and when I try to load a page it will not load all the way all signs show that I am still connected to the internet but apparently I am not.
When the internet connection is lost everyone losses the internet and it looks like everyone still has the interet. Ipconfig still works on all computers, Network connections shows traffic, I don't know what the problem is this is really weird and very bad when I am in the middle of battle or on the forums.
It can happen randomly, even when I have internet then shut down my pc, and turn it on still have it and then i don't have it.

Go to their website and check it out. If you need help with the details, post back- with your router model No.
Hope that helps-
But yeah, check that router first before you check the cable line.
I have changed my ip address to 192.168.1.2 *static* but I still get the problem.
If you're not having problems anymore, cool.
As for your IP address, what is the IP address that your ISP is assigning you? In other words, what is the actual IP address of the modem? Sometimes your router can tell you, but the clearest way is to hook directly into your modem and do an "ipconfig" in DOS to see what your ip address is.
And like I said earlier, check your signals too. I'm not sure what ISP you have, but they could be out of range and be the cause of your slow speeds and random drops.
The activity light fills up and stays a solid orange/yellow and sometimes it just blinks like normal.
