A google search on both will give the correct links. Then go ahead and try again. Note: torrent files don't use Flashget or Firefox or IE, they have their own built in download manager.

And test again. Hi Kimsland, I am sorry to say this i am still facing the problem.. Till now i was using firefox now i am using Internet explorer and i completely removed flashget..

This problem has plagued me for the past 2 weeks as I have spent hours attempting to research and solve the problem. I purchased a new gaming laptop and there have been serious internet issues.

Whenever I download any large files such as a game from Steam or GTA 5 from the rockstar launcher, the wifi will eventually cut out in a couple of minutes. This requires me to use the troubleshooter which usually says "the default gateway is unavailable" or something similar. Even when I am on youtube or browsing reddit, the internet will cut out randomly for a couple of seconds and then quickly return. The worst part is that somehow when the download speeds start declining and when the internet eventually disconnects, it causes the internet from my router to shut off as well. However, using 2. I even went to my neighbors house to see if the issue was just with my router but it is actually with the computer. But not a single one of those threads were able to solve the problem or atleast the solution was never posted. I changed the power management settings and more.

I just don't know what to do anymore.

Can you suggest me a software or tool with the help of which i can monitor what are processes running in backgroun I think we can use Task manager..

but i dont see any process which is not familiar to me And also can you suggest me a tool which shows me what all are accessing my internet apart from browser.. Today i contacted my Internet Service provider even he had no idea about what is happening and he suggested me to use extrernal LAN card what do you say about this? aspx Yes it could be a hardware issue with your network card You could do a few things in that area too. Confirm latest drivers loaded 2. Confirm all network settings this is where the ipconfig comes in 3. Remove the card from Device Manager, restart, then re-install the drivers again 4. Plug in another Network card to test with that Also it's recommended not to have too many background services running. An easy option is to download Startup Control Panel and untick not required startups.

Another good measuse is to have your computer always running clean of temporary files. Use CCleaner for this Generally on tech boards, it is a good idea to attach a HiJackThis log, which can show other startups that are not normally seen by the user There is also another file called Hosts that can allow bad ports to be open You can view ports open with t h i s program, you can also reset your Hosts file with this program HostXpert There's a few things!
