Losing Internet Connection When Trying to Download...

Hey everyone. I've had this problem since build 7077; really hope someone can help. I'm runnin the RC now.

Everytime I open up uTorrent and try to download or seed, I lose my internet connection completely. I have to keep resetting my modem in order to regain my connection. At first I thought it was uTorrent, but I don't have this problem in Windows XP or Vista. Like I said, the problem started in build 7077 for me. I thought installing the RC would have solved it but it didn't.

I don't have a router and this only happens in Windows 7. Does anyone know what's going on and can help me?

Thanks!!

Hello and welcome to the window7 forums,

Provide specs for your computer

Did you do a "clean" install or an upgrade?

Are you dual-booting now?

32-bit or 64-bit?

Sorry for the lack of information. Here're my specs. I did a clean install of Windows 7.

Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.20GHz
RAM: 1GB
Hard Drive: 160GB Internal/750GB External
OS: Windows 7 RC/Windows XP MCE 2005 (Dual boot), 32-bit

Thanks again!

Look in Device manager and see if any entries have a yellow flag beside it.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but under "Networks" in the Device Manager, it says, "Intel PRO/1000 PL Network Connection."

There aren't any yellow flags except for one that says PCI Imput Device, but I'm pretty sure that's my video card so it shouldn't be causing any problems with my internet connection.

sorry one more question.

is this a laptop or Desktop?

i also need to know the chipset you are using.

the file download will give you that info.

I'm on a desktop.

Something like this:

Intel® 82543GC Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Thanks. Should I download the driver for this?

No, that was just an example.

I need to know your chipset number
