Frequent visitors of this forum will remember my previous thread where I mentioned an issue with the USB LAN adapter in our desktop - it used to disconnect automatically from the net. We could narrow down to the fact that the problem occurred only when we were downloading large files (>= 800 MB). (Note that we have unlimited data.)
Now a new problem has started: we just cannot connect to the internet. When I am pinging the ISP server, it is saying "Request timed out" continuously. And this time, it is not solved by rebooting. I had a word with the technician from the ISP. He said that their systems are showing that our MAC is properly connected, so the problem is not on their side. He also pointed out that since the previous problem (disconnecting from the net suddenly) was getting solved by restarting the PC, there should be a problem in our PC rather than their server.
It will take some time for us to buy a PCI-based network adapter, because the ones on Amazon do not have a good rating and we will have to buy it from a shop. Till then, does anyone have any advice? Can I try anything with the USB adapter to get it working again?
