Windowshater Posted May 24, 2011 ID:433003 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Since I installed the real-time protection of Malwarebytes, Windows 7 can't maintain a connection for more than five minutes. On startup, I have a signal, but eventually, it gets the little exclamation warning that says the connection does not provide internet access. I'm normally a Linux user, so I am ill equipped to deal with Windows quirks. However, I'm sure it is just some setting I need to change or some weird conflict, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twexler Posted May 31, 2011 ID:435230 Share Posted May 31, 2011 It sounds like you're having a DHCP issue. Windows likes to tell you everything is fine while it's trying to grab an IP, but when it doesn't get a response from a DHCP server, it marks that connection as not having internet access(while still maintaining that it can reach a network, which is also false and annoying). Check your DHCP server and make sure that when things do come up, you do indeed have an IP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windowshater Posted July 5, 2011 Author ID:449690 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thanks, but I have no idea how well, as I said before, anything with Windows. So I just disabled the real time protection, and use that machine for the bare necessities.try to get a static ip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
