The internet disconnection happens mainly whilst listening to the internet radio and an applet online game.

I tried those and still had problems - the last point nr. 3 was inadequate... but finally I somehow got it going in manually setting the ip address on the host PC. Now the only problem I have left, is that the internet connection keeps on cutting off after several minutes and then comes back again after about 10 seconds. I thought at first it would be the other PC taking bandwith away, but it cant get in the internet on that PC (I dont really need it to neither so it is better for security matters). The only reason why I think the internet connection keeps on dropping is because the ip now goes through the router on a standard gateway. So it isnt really a direct ip connection to external servers, so it could be that. Otherwise it is probably another setting with the router. How about fine-tuning the DNS or the buffer... I saw those settings on the advanced top in the LAN connection properties (Network configuration). Also I noticed that the RPC-service is blank in the lower 'Client for Microsoft Network' option - dont know if this means anything, as there one can select 'Windows Locator' or 'DCE-Cell' in the drop-down bar.

I have set up a home network, the two pcs are showing in the network and the ip addresses are showing diffenent (one ends 0.101 the other 0.102) when I tested them on PC1. On the other PC2 it shows the network name, but cannot open the folder without an error message occuring and computers dont show. The LAN connection (shown through main PC1) ends 0.100 and the standard gateway 0.1, also I am not on PPPoE but dynamical assigned IP address from the provider. Whilst opening the 2nd PC in the network on the main PC, the error message "communication with the 2nd PC is not possible" occurs. The network diagnosis sent a ping-signal to the remote host but didnt receive an answer. Internet works on PC2 though through the wireless connection and Zonealarm firewall on PC2 is set to accept the IP address on PC1. On the main PC under 'ipconfig' there are 4 tunnel adapter LAN-connections Whilst the local connection IPv6 -address is filled in, DNS-suffix and standard gateway arent. I have no idea what this concerns. I can only think that Windows Live OneCare is having some bad influence with the connections on the main PC as I cannot set the IP address of PC2 to be set in the firewall. But OneCare shouldnt cause a problem, because I am trying to access PC2 from PC1 (pinging OUT shouldnt be a problem?)
