WinXP woes
-
Every night I leave utorrent running, when I wake up, I close it and then stumble blurry eyed over to reddit.com, but it won't work. I can't access any webpages. This is despite utorrent still downloading/uploading fine at the time it was closed.
I've tried ipconfig /release and /renew, pulling the cable, and right clicking the network connection to disconnect and then reconnect (though I believe that's the same as ipconfig). None of them help. After restarting, it's fine.
Anyone have any idea why this happens? Is there a way to fix it without rebooting? Many thanks. -
I get a similiar problem, only on win7, still using utorrent and PeerBlock though.
I've noticed it basically nukes my router temporarily, not sure why. I just unplug and replug in the router and it starts working again.
I'd check there first, see if any other computers are losing connection as well (if there are any others) -

No trouble with other computers.
That reminds me. When I start utorrent, it comes up with some warning about the Nvidia ForceWare network control thing I accidentally installed with the video drivers. Do you have that? I wonder if that's the issue. Hopefully it's not because I've never managed to uninstall it without having to reinstall Windows again (due to networking not working). -
nopers, ati here.

^makes sense, thanks.
i dont really check subreddits. the way i use reddit is only to go on 'top scoring' and set it to hide posts when i upvote/downvote and then just upvote/downvote at random to get shit off the page lol. i guess if i had to pick, it'd be iama. here are my subscribed subreddits:
blog

business
circlejerk
cogsci
