If the problem doesn't happen with other computers, then you know the issue is specific to the one machine.
So, if you've narrowed it down to one machine, then there are a couple of things you can try. I'd try them in the order below:
1. Visit the network adapter manufacturer's website and download, then install the latest driver for your ethernet adapter.
2. If that doesn't get it done, then click on the link below and follow the instructions from the poster named "BuckNC" to run elevated commands to fix the adapter settings.

3. If that doesn't fix things, then it's time to purchase and inexpensive USB ethernet adapter dongle, install it, then disable your faulty ethernet adapter and use the new one.
Hope this helps.

Gooddday everybody,
Since almost a year now, when i'm gaming or using my pc my internet disconnects. Sometimes I can keep gaming for 3 days without a single disconnect, and sometimes it's 10 times in an hour.
After a couple months i saw somebody talk about my internet properties in my ''Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller'' and about the save-power mode to turn it of. Well i did and i'm still disconnecting. What i did found at advanced options is that speed & duplex (snelheid & duplex, i need to translate this from dutch) on 10 Mbps Half Duplex reduces the disconnecting by a lot. But if my computer has a good day i can just put it at automatic.
I also know that it's not my cable, cause if i run the ping thing in my Cmd it still pings back when i'm disconnected.
If i disconnect the light on my Ethernet port is turned off as well.
I do get the message '' Device PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_81681849&REV_11\01000000684CE00000 requires further installation'' and i have no idea where to find this thing or how to install it.
This is all the information i have at this moment, for the people wondering i did the obvious things like restarting the pc or router, Power cycling, driver updates that kinda stuff.
I really would love some help in this, because i'm kinda getting desperate with this problem. I just want it fixes now :frown:
Thanks for reading and helping,
Jake
