7077: Lose internet yet?

[gregrocker]

Every build after 7000 has a certain per cent of users experiencing random loss of internet both on wired and wireless connections. The bug defies troubleshooting, hangs on restart requiring hard shutdown, then resets upon start up.

Even though daily builds are notorious for having bugs not yet worked out, it seems strange this same bug would exist through so many builds.

Waiting to hear if it repeats in 7077.

no bugs yet ! been running great !

imho its faster than 7057 for me

replied to your post in the other thread about this ;)

edit:

Make it take it. Click update the driver, then click bottom choice(browse for a driver). Then click the bottom option again, Click have disk, browse to the driver, when it asks, tell it yes, anyway. Solved.

Lost internet in second hour on 7077.

Cannot force change to XP driver (fails) for Linksys WUSB54GS adapter; the driver I am using is Vista, the only other one for my model.

Am swapping WRT100 (draft N) router with older trusty BEFW11S4 b/g to see if that helps. If it does I may buy a WRT54G router since WRT100 has been a pain (RMA'd twice).

Didn't have the problem you are mentioning with ANY of the Builds i have tested.Maybe its your hardware+drivers?

[Access Denied]

Its the OS, not your hardware.

[Cheshire Wolf]

I'm having this problem aswell. It didn't happen on the last build I used.

[shockz]

Yes. I went from 7048 which had intermittent connection issues, to 7068 which seems to have problems loading pages left and right.

Haven't tried 7077 yet... but its getting progressively worse when using the internet.

It's not my connection as other people in the house seem to be just fine.

You guys need to update the drivers on your wireless cards, as well as the firmware on your routers.

I've had absolutely no problems whatsover with my Intel N card and my Tomato-loaded Buffalo router.

I have not had this problem with any build from 7000 through 7077.

The first time I had it was with 7057. Now I noticed it again with the 7077 build. The weird thing is at home it kicks me and my wife off of internet (she has Vista), but we both still remain on the network, just no internet. I have to reset the router. I think this might have happened with an earlier (pre 7057) build and I thought I disabled ipv6 and that seemed to fix it. Might have to try that again.

Same here (7000 through 7068). And if some have this issue while others do not, wouldn't that indicate hardware issues and not OS issues?

[Digitalx]

never experienced such an issue since 6801.

That would be the most likely suspect except that it never happens in 7000. As soon as subsequent build starts dropping net (2-3 times daily), I just wipe the partition and revert back to 7000 where it has never happened since release.

Some hardware issues are OS specific, as with Intel 855/915 graphics drivers which froze WMP in 7000-22, then while Intel ignored us it was fixed in builds 7048 and after.

i couldnt use my router any more with 7058(i think thats the right build) ... i just had to plug modem into computer :/

[Dreamspell]

Has happened to me on 7068 (I have gone through all builds), but hasn't happened yet on 7077.

[Vexii]

I have the same issue

Win 7 Build 7077.

[Berserk87]

ive been having the same problem with my wireless since 7000.

i cant turn it off, and my wireless is constantly dropping.

Its not just wireless cards.

My laptop at home is wired and it drops every now and then ever since I moved past 7022.

My workstation at work which is also wired, dropped for the first time yesterday and required a couple reboots before it started working again.

[Berserk87]

hopefully a microsoft tech is reading over are experiences with this leak.

[Penryn]

I've expericened the intermitten loss of internet connection since build 6801. Sometimes i have to refesh it in order to get to the webpages. Hope they'll fix it in the official RC release.

[Lord Ba'al]

Never had any problem with it in 7000-7068, and I'd be very surprised if it suddenly cropped up in 7077.

No drops on my desktop and my laptop using both Ethernet and wireless. I have a realtek ethernet adapter and an Intel 5100 wifi chip inside. I used stock drivers on the laptop and used Driver Genius to get my ethernet driver off Vista and Windows update had a new one as well and that fixed some slow speeds.
