After an installation of windows 10, my internet connection freaked out a little bit and after a restart, it returned back to normal. Now the trouble has returned and it won't fix itself.
(For some reason, my modem has 2 names on my computer, (scottfamily & scottfamily 2) despite being the same network, but that's not important). When I connect to either of these networks, my internet connection works for about 10 seconds then stops working [but still showing that I'm connected to the modem with full bars, I just cant use the internet]. If I disconnect from say scottfamily, then reconnect to scottfamily 2, again, the internet works for 10 seconds then stops.
I've put it down to a driver issue since I've recently upgraded to win10, but there are no drivers for my ethernet controller or LAN card available online (yet?). Also, when I look at my 'wireless network connection status' It shows: IPv4 - Internet, but IPv6 - No network access, as well, apparently I'm still receiving and sending bytes; I don't know what's going on...
If you can help diagnose the real problem or help me to find some drivers that do work, i'd be grateful.
