Network on laptop kicks out - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 05-14-2012, 02:17 PM

I have my laptop connected to my router through a hard cable, not wireless. About once a week the network on my laptop will shit and it will not come back unless I reboot. The laptop is about seven months old, HP.

Any clue why it would be doing this or how to fix it? It's becoming problematic.

Thanks.

I would blame it on the fact that it is HP, based on nothing more that I really hate their product line. How old is the router? Maybe it needs a firmware update?

Router is from the cable company and works fine with my other two computers, so it seems odd that the router would be the cause. I'm wondering about network card drivers or something like that.

what you do is light the laptop on fire....then smash..it or drive over it.
hang it on your wall as a warning to future laptops

problem solved

By any chance are there other computers on the network that don't have the same OS and at least one being Win7?

All Win7, all less than seven months old.

I've had really bad luck with HP laptops, but it comes down more to the network hardware in this case. Can you lookup and see what type it is in your device manager?

1) You can probably save yourself the reboot by disabling and enabling the network interface on the laptop.

2) There's actually a lot of negotiation and possibly re-negotiation with a NIC, on top of sleep/resume behaviours etc. The first thing I would do is rule in or out whether it has to do with sleep/resume being enabled.

3) Next I guess I'd visit the advanced setup options for the card driver, and check the event log.

4) Yes, updating the driver (or even reinstalling) may help.

HP sucks. I would never buy any of their products

Related but unrelated:

My desktop does this too. however.. it's due to a micro-fissure in the motherboard leading to the nic jack.
