I am connected to my University network and internet. When I start up the computer the internet connection is always connected, but maybe after 20-30 mins the connection to the network becomes 'limited' and I have no internet connection.
This happens even though the network sever is fine, i.e. just my computer that loses connection. I have run the diagnostic checks on the connection and the end result is that 'there may be a problem with one or more network adapters on this computer.
Is my problem fixable by downloading drivers/changing settings or do I need to replace the actual hardware? P.S. I hsve had no problems whatsover connecting to the internet when using a wireless network, only when using a DSL cable.
If you are using the Windows own Wireless connection wizard (Wireless Zero Configuration service aka WZCSVC) this is designed to recheck every 20-30 mins for another connection this is your problem disable the service here download this tweak.

Then download and use the laptop NIC's own software to search for your Uni server and then connect using the WEP or PSK, this will solve your problem then create a profile in the NIC connection software and it will never forget.

Connect the Laptop and TV with a *CROSSOVER* ethernet cable and then enable "Internet Connection Sharing" on the Laptop's "Wireless Network Connection".
To enable "Internet Connection Sharing", open the Network Connections folder ("Start > Run" type NCPA.CPL and click OK). Right click the Wireless Network Connection, select Properties and then the Advanced tab [XP] or Sharing tab [Vista]. Tick the box "Allow other network users to connect through through this computer's internet connection.
