I have cable internet and since I built this new PC I'm having problems with the conenction. It disconnects after a while, and I have to restart the computer to get connected again. The modem still shows as connected and recieving data, however BitTorrent stops downloading, IE doesn't connect to any websites and Live Messenger disconnects. The modem is connected via USB. I don't have a router only Windows Firewall. TCPIP.SYS is patched but it's not the problem since I've been having this before I patched it.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

This a screenshot of both the Device Manager and the Internet and Network connections in the Control Panel. Note that it doesn't who any type of message in the system tray when there is no connection!

They're both USB 2.0. Unfortunately the PCI NIC I had in my old PC died, and even if I had one I can't use it since I don't have enough PCI ports. Note sure if the EVGA 680i has a built-in ethernet card. The drivers are up to date from the manufacturer website.

EDIT: On the mobo manual it says:

DUAL Onboard LAN

- Two LAN interfaces built-in nboard

- Supports 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbit/sec Ethernet

Does that mean it has one? If so, I'm lucky :)

jeez man it's faster!!!

I was searching through the cables I have in this box. I found a different sort of internet cable, the one I used to use before is smaller, I mean the one I'm using now is wider. When I used the USB cable it used to say 12Mbits in the system tray, now it says 100Mbits! Till now it's working, but I have to see if it disconnects again after some time.

Oh yes, now it's connecting to the Ethernet Card not to the USB. yesterday it was working fine, but today it's slow as hell, never seen it like this in 3 years. The TEST light on the cable is flashing constantly.

TEST LED stopepd flashing, but the connection is still slow, especiall local websites, and my POP3 account. May be something from our local barebone service provider. Or could it be the nVidia firewall?

    • Microsoft 365 will soon disable outdated authentication protocols for file access

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft 365 will soon disable outdated authentication protocols for file access by Usama Jawad On a fairly regular basis, Microsoft disables outdated protocols that are used to access its services. In the past few years, the company has deprecated Basic Auth in Exchange Online and cut access to Outlook for third-party apps relying on this protocol. Now, it has decided to get rid of old authentication protocols for file access across Microsoft 365 services. As reported by Bleeping Computer, Microsoft has posted a message on its Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Starting from mid-July 2025, the company will begin disabling legacy authentication protocols used to access files across Microsoft 365 and Office apps, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Essentially, applications or services which use the Relying Party Suite (RPS) or FrontPage Remote Procedure Call (FPRPC) will to perform browser-based authentication to perform open operations on Office files will no longer be able to do so. As expected, this is primarily being done to improve the cybersecurity posture of various services. Microsoft states that RPS can be brute-forced and phished with relative ease as it is fairly outdated. Similarly, FPRPC is typically used for remote web page authoring and it is susceptible to exploitation through various vulnerabilities too. As such, both of these protocols will be disabled by default starting from mid-July 2025, with the rollout of this change targeting completion by August 2025. The Redmond tech giant will update the protocol baseline by default without mandating any licensing changes for customers. In addition, once these modifications are rolled out, Microsoft 365 will require admin consent to get third-party access to files and sites. IT admins can view the guidance available here to configure admin consent workflows. Microsoft says that these changes align with the principles of its Secure Future Initiative (SFI). Earlier today, it announced the rollout of improved security defaults for Windows 365 citing the same reasons too.

      It does and it can... I took an i3 board and upgraded it to my FX8350... no issues, just put in new drivers over the top that Windows didn't. Not the issue for me, (though I eventually did do a new install from 23H2 to 24H2)... I was on 22H2 at the time. The issue is activation. You may get hit with having to activate again.
