Odd Problem

Ok odd one here,
my internet has started (since saturday) to play up.
I'll be connected like i am now, for a bit, but as soon as i go afk or something, it'll sorta like hang, webpages won't load, and I'll have to reset my LAN connection via network connections, to effectivly use the internet again.
Odd thing is, my xbox360, which is on Live stays connected all the time, even when my pc's internet is playing up, so it cant be my ISP or Router.
Ive ran 3 Virus scanners, 2 found different things, which i quarantined and destroyed, ive tried a system restore and now my system would appear to be clean after another scan..
any ideas?

are you 100% sure this isn't conficker? It does go spastic trying to update itself via the web. To get it via the network you'd have to be unpatched since Oct last year but now it's passable via USB keys.

Failing that, try leaving "ping -t direct.gov.uk" in a command prompt window and see what happens to your raw ping when the problem occurs.
You could also have a command window pinging your router to see if the problem is local to your lan.
Also when it craps out try the tracert command (e.g. to direct.gov.uk) - here's mine via BT Broadband:
Code: Select all

not 100% but i find it odd how 3 virus scans found nothing, so im not even sure how i would find conficker to try and remove it, as im not actually detecting it

but the second one (tracert direct.gov.uk)
starts to look like yours, then cmd prompt quickly closes after a few hop things, about 5 lines and cmd prompt closes

eh?? you mean you open a command prompt, see the "C:\....\...\>" prompt, type "tracert direct.gov.uk", hit enter and the whole window closes after a few seconds ?

if there was something broken about your ethernet (LAN) driver maybe that could cause the 'tracert' to abort. I reckon you somehow need to accumulate info about the health of the ethernet connection over a longer period - e.g. ping your router. It's a fekkin mystery at this point. Or..... just ping the ethernet interface on your own card and see if that dies. To find your own ip address type 'ipconfig /all' at the command prompt.
