    Hi all
    I changed over from F secure aio protection and went for nod, malware and zone alarm pro, since then I have tried a few firewalls and still get the same problem I start up and everything is ok, then after anything from 5 mins to 5 hours (random time) I cant connect to anything ! still shows as connected but I cant get shit home network is ok on another pc & 360 and if I try to restart the pc it hangs forever, hit the reset button and it's all ok again for a while !!

    Any ideas, i'm sure it's some cnuts hacking me

    what OS you running on this system mate? bet its windows vista if so

    Disable IPV6


    Copy below text in to notepad and then file save as
    Change the Save as Type to ALL “update.reg”

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters]
    "DisabledComponents"=dword:000000ff

    Run that and then reboot should fix it

    Temporarily uninstall MBAM if that's what malware thing you installed.

    Reboot, and see if problem persists.

    Yeah the MBAM did that with a work laptop I was trying to sort out.

    Kept locking up after 10 mins or so. Turned out to be MBAM conflicting with F_Secure.

    I know you got rid out f-secure, but maybe some renant was left causing MBAM to glitch.

    I use MBAM at home with NOD no problems tho.

    are you wireless?

    wep or wpa?

    maybe someone is trying to "hack" you, if they are doing it incorrectly it could mean a loss of internet connection

    what about a virus on your pc? some have appeared that can change your router password and dns entries in there
    check them out,

    maybe change your gateway from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1
