Hi everyone,
Just built a computer for the first time and it went fairly smooth until I set up a home network to transfer files from my old comp. I used a crossover cable and despite the fact that both computers said the connection had "little to no connectivity" I was still able to share files.
Anyway, after I was done I unhooked the crossover cable and plugged my ethernet cable in to my new computer to use the internet and for the first couple minutes it was ok and I was online. But then, after a few minutes it looses all connection to the internet but I don't get any error messages or any "Little to no connectivity" messages. I tried shutting the computer down and it does the same thing-- when it boots back up I'm able to use the internet for a few minutes before it stops working.
I'm completely baffeled if anyone can give any clue as to the cause/solution of this I'd appreciate it.
