HI, I recently bought and set up my own computer, (see at http://pcpartpicker.com/b/G1U ) but its been having strange problems with my internet connection.
I'm using a CAT6e+ Ethernet cable plugged directly into the wall of my college apartment (which says that its a CAT5e+) and it works just fine, about half of the time... Once and a while it will refuse to open up my homepage on Firefox (the default) or will refuse to go to any page NOT in my favorites bar, BUT WILL allow my to move autonomously within any sites that are on my favorites bar.
For example, when i have this problem it will let me open up my outlook email account and send a receive messages or use Facebook normally but won't allow me to search Google or open up a read-me file for a computer game or anything like that.
My motherboard came with the "Killer Network Manager" application and it seems to do more or less what it says that it should do, I can play online games with a very low ping anytime I want even if only moments before my browser was refusing to even show me the homepage.
I've tried using Chrome and even Internet Explorer instead and this doesn't seem to do any good.
And moreover there seems to be no rhyme or reason to when the browser refuses to work. It will be out for a couple of hours and I'll come back and it still won't work and then other times it will stop working for just half an hour and I'll try to show someone how my network connection is crapping out on me and it will work first try. Its truly frustrating.
What steps should I take to fix this problem?
Is the Killer Network Manager to blame or is there some other underlying problem?
