Re: Can't maintain internet connection; must restart after closing I.E



I hear ya Rod. I have a user that has nearly exact same symptoms. I'd be
guessing maybe it IS the same problem, only he isn't explaining it as well
as you are, ie, you close the app once, and then it doesn't re-connect on
the next open, and it requires a re-start in order to get the internet layer
going again. All the rest of the network works fine. File sharing, I can
ping the gateway, but I can't "see" past it. None of my other XP
installations are doing this. My USER claims that this all started after he
did the Microsoft Updates. While I don't find that completely unbelievable,
I'd aim more toward some corruption in the TCP/IP stack, mainly it's
inability to use a gateway correctly. I don't profess to know what
Microsoft has going on under the hood, all I know is you have to keep
re-starting the car to get the radio to work.

Anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this? I too have scrolled through
the event log, through processes, and can find no reason why it shoudl act
this way.

Of course the users are hung up on this "rollback thing" which in mind,
well, I won't get into that. I don't trust it, let's just put it that way.
Anyway, they did their "rollback" and no, it didn't fix his problem.

I'm sure someone will have the magical (Hey, it's all magic to the users)
fix to this. TIA.
