I have been having problems with my connection. I try to play online games or connect to the internet but my internet but it disconnects all the time. I recently reformated my computer and thought it might help but it didnt. The other computer on my router works fine so I thought it might just be the port. I plugged thie computer straight into the modem but it didn't help. I also switched the cable and that didn't help. I have a net gear En-106 router and an Asus K8n-e mother board. This is my 3rd motherboard in 3 months can you please help me?

Have you contacted your Internet Service Provider about the issue? Sounds like either outside the house problem or maybe a modem problem.

Yes, I checked with them and they said that everything was working ok. I reinstalled my motherboard drivers last night just to make sure they were up to date and my internet worked better, but my computer crashed once in a while when I played World of Warcraft. Would this be a connection problem or could this be because my video card drivers are't up to date? I know it could be a wide variety of anything.

The computer crashing when playing a game is another issue in itself-probably caused by overheating or in adequate hardware.

As for losing your connection-have you tried replacing the actual wire (cord) that runs from your router to your computer? It seems like it's the only thing that you haven't replaced yet. Chances are that all 3 motherboards that you've replaced aren't all bad!

Thanks guys, I'll have to check the hardware now that I have the connection under control.

I dunno the kind of connection that you've got - but line noise within the house can cause these sort of problems (I've run into it with my cable).

The solution was to split the cable where it enters the house (using a good quality 2 way splitter) and run one leg straight to the modem. The other leg will be sufficient for almost any amount of TV's.

Once I did that, I haven't dropped a connection since!
