Internet connection breaks regularly Tuesday, December 31, 2002 at 9:22 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JP (2 messages posted) I've seen several posts with people describing similar problems to mine, but have not seen a difinitive answer, so here is my problem: I have a cable modem to router, router to computers type network. Everything is spiffy. I can access the internet, share files and printers, play games, everything my network is supposed to do. Yay! After a period of time -- ranging anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours -- the connection on all machines dies at exactly the same time. The way to get it back is to release and renew the DHCP through the router. Then everything works beautifully again until it all dies again. Extremely frustrating. What is happening? How do I fix this?
