Thread: Internet stops working, ping to router fails

Unless you can find a recommendation for a stable driver within a few hours of browsing, I'd say that Rs200 looks very attractive! But hey, I'm lazy !

So... what you are saying is that it is a windows driver (whether microsoft or from your motherboard manufacturer) that is causing the problem, rather than BIOS code for the chip? Just another crazy idea: if you have the driver disc that came with your motherboard, you might try using the drivers from that. You never know, it might be that early versions are ok and it got broken later. That would take even less work that buying a new card. Did I mention that I'm lazy

If and when you do fit another card, I suggest you disable the built-in in the BIOS settings. Leaving it enabled might be no problem at all. On the other hand, it might!

Hi everyone, i tried the old driver from the motherboard cd and it just worsened the situation. Tried resetting the bios but it didn't help either.So i bought a new Quantum lan card with Realtek chipset today for just Rs 150/-. Installed it and it started working fine even with the default windows driver. Just downloaded and install the latest driver from Quantum's website.

Eveything appears fine so far.

Thanks to all of you for your help and time. This forum is just great and is infact the most responsive forum i have come across on the internet.

Keep up the good work......
