hmm, orange are causing me to have some fun again.
up until a few days ago, my connection to my livebox would randomly drop without warning, after reading one or two posts on this forum, i decided to try doing a factory reset on the livebox.
this appeared to do the trick until today, when so far since i turned my PC on at 11am, i have been shunted off the network half a dozen times.
it doesnt actually disconnect me from the network (both the windows wirless connection manager and my wireless recievers status monitors show a connection still there), but i cannot get any kind of traffic to or from the livebox.
in order to do a "quick fix" i just tell the connection to disconnect and repair itself, which works 90% of the time, but the other 10% requires me to either reboot my PC or to go downstairs and do a factory reset on the livevbox.
also, one of the things i have noticed is that the connection seems to have slowed right down a lot over this past week, with it sometimes taking several minutes to connect to some sites.
our live box connects to 2 PCs and 1 Laptop, and we get the same problem with all, the livebox itself is never turned off and always remains connected to the phone line, is it wearing out or something, or is it just Orange providing the usual poor service?.
When it just stops working does it happen to all the PC's at once or all after roughly the same length of time? If you repair one do they all come back on or just the one repaired?
Sounds like something may have gone wrong with the livebox DHCP server and/or addressing system. Can you ping the livebox (192.168.1.1) when it dies like that, if so can you access the webpage on that same address?
Do you have any of the PC's on ethernet and are they the acting just the same too? I'd recommend using a wired PC for this bit if you try it. You could try manually assigning a static IP to see if that makes any difference, might do or more likely will be just the same. For that you need to set within TCP/IP...
IP - 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS - 192.168.1.1
If this doesn't help it's best to set both IP and DNS back to automatic as they're the best options.
