Hi folks.

I have had a brilliantly running system for the past couple of years,
now all of a sudden I am having connecting problems.

The internet runs for about 5 minutes then starts disconnecting and
connecting again.

I can solve the problem by taking the router out of the equation and
connecting my cable modem directly to the PC but I have a wireless
laptop I use at home also when the PC is not on, so need it up and
running with the modem as well.

The PC has a NIC card in it, which connects to the router.

The router is connected to the PC and I have replaced the cables to
make sure it wasn't a faulty wire.

I have disabled all other network cards.

I have tried DHCP connection and manually configuring an IP address
with the router, but get the same outcome.

How do I find the MAC address of the PC NIC card???

Any input greatly appreciated! I will also post if/when I find the
solution to the problem.

Try connecting the computer to a different LAN port on the router.

To find the MAC address of the PC NIC card, right-click the local area
connection that uses the NIC, click Status > Support > Details, and
look at the Physical Address.

Cheers Steve, that will save me a lot of hassle getting inside the PC!
Nice one.


Dave.

You're welcome, Dave. BTW, many NICs don't have the MAC address
printed on the card.
