Disconnections randomly from net
I cant remember wheather ive posted this before or not but its been happening since before christmas..

A friend of mine has a problem which started off with his line dropping completely, the router would lose sync. AOL stated nothing wrong and it went on for a while and suddenly all was ok again. Now he has problems again where his pc will report loss of connection on the task bar but apparently router doesnt lose sync.

AOL keep saying its software and it HAS to be his PC. first thing i did was change all filters and ethernet leads and even the router and still same, i then put a PCI ethernet card in which i first tested in my own pc for a week and all was great, as soon as it went into his system within 20 mins he had a disconnection.

If i bring his PC to mine and run it there are no disconnections what so ever so i know its not the PC

His current setup is an Athlon II X4 250 3Ghz AM3, 6GB DDR III, 1TB Samsung Hard Disk etc etc running Windows 7 Home Premium 64.

I am completely stumpt as to what it could be as if it is a line issue still surely the router would still lose sync?
