pouncer Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Last night at about 10pm I was asked to upgrade my security kit . That's sth my ISP offers that has an anti-virus, firewall, antispywre protection, smam protection etc. It's actually an F-Secure thing..my ISP gives it to its customers. Anyways..till last night the thing worked great. After the upgrade I was asked to reboot..I did. Since then I disconnect every hour! That's no joke..i honestly moof on an hourly basis. my messenger goes offline too. Earlier today I waited for itas I know when it's gonna happen ( cause it happens every hour). I had a page open..I refreshed it. It refreshed ok. Also..when I lose my connection and it reconnects I get that lil pop up that says I'm connected and shows my speed etc. When the disconnection happens I don't see that pop up Any ideas? Any suggestions? I'm running a full scan as I type this..but my friends (who's somewhat techy) thinks it's not a virus.

leonglass Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 This has to be related to your dynamic ip address that you receive from your isp. By default you should receive a new ip address every 3600 seconds (one hour) and I would hazard a guess that you are not receiving the new one correctly. Not sure how to fix though contact the isp.
