once this is running play your steam game, and lets see if the ping drops. When the steam game reports a connection issue press [ALT]+[TAB] and see if your connection has dropped.
Please provide results.

Thanks
Bob.

I get this problem on my other system some times when the system has been put in standby in windows Vista\7.

Maybe look around for updated driver for your network card.

Lesser bump

Hello. First time im posting here.
I just wanted to bump this thread as I'm having the same problems, and I've had them for quite some time. After trying exactly what STEAMUSER did, I got the same results as he did. The gateway stops responding to ping.


Bear in mind, i don't have access to forwardporting.
I thought this was easier then starting my own thread with exactly the same problem.

Thanks.

if you have another computer try pinging the router from it during your outage on your main pc. This will confirm if its the router failing your PC.

Yes, I can confirm that both the computer which I am starting the game on, and another computer, gets a Ping Timeout.

What happens is, i start the game. As soon as i do anything that interferes with the internet (e.g. loading up the Servers list to join a game, or sometimes i even get into the game, but gets disconnected too quick for me to start playing)
