Ok so all of a sudden these last few weeks my W7 computer has started having an issue I last remember wrestling with years ago:
my internet goes down and comes back after I've reset the cable modem a few times and spammed the "Diagnose/Repair" option in my adapter settings. After a few tries it usually gets the connection back up and gives the "LAN doesn't have valid IP configuration - Fixed"-message when it finally repairs it.
I have no router, just plug my desktop directly in to the cable modem. I just have the Windows firewall and the cable modem is in bridged mode and has literally worked flawlessly for the last five years. Yet now it constantly does this, what gives? I haven't really changed anything (I don't think).
I've tried fiddling with a few other adapter settings and stuff I stumbled at googling (disabled IPv6, did the flushing out ips and get new ones in cmd) and installed new drivers but it keeps happening, what gives? I feel like a moron.
