Currently in my house I have an XP computer downstairs wired into the router and a wireless laptop connected to router as well. Recently I built my own P.C. for gaming and put it upstairs and wired it to the modem via 100 ft. Ethernet cable. Upon first installing everything it worked without any problems for 2 months. However after to months the internet keeps cutting out only on the computer i built upstairs and only the computer upstairs The only way to fix it is to reset the network adapter on that computer and that will last only about 3 hours before i get limited connectivity. This system is Vista based and connected to my router which is connected to my modem. I can't seem to figure out for the life of me whether it is a VISTA FAIL, onboard Network card fail, Ethernet cable fail, router fail, modem fail, or a catastrophic combination of them all. Please help... gaming just isn't as good if you can't game continuously without your internet crapping out on you.
I appreciate your time. Thank you
