help required on connections / disconnections

[sartranew]

Hi, i have currently got virgin modem, with a netgear router (supplied By virgin). connected to the router is my Xbox 360 and the PC, for the past few months the internet connection has been abit hit n miss ( it works for a couple of minutes, then tends to hang a little, then connects e.t.c. ) this happens when the XBOX360 is online and when the 360 is offline. I have connected Virgin to which they have replied there isnt a line fault and it cant be anything to do with the services they provide.

Lastnight i plugged the ethernet cable directly into the PC, and it seemed to work better.

 

Could the modem be intermittant if it gets warm?

 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Are you saying that you hard wired the router to the PC?

 

Lagging on playing games on the XBOX could be down to all manner of things, the games server may have issues, Virgin may have issues etc.

yes, thats right, i dont use anything via the wireless connection, everything is hard wired, but for some reason the computer disconnects frequently and hangs when the XBOX is on. :confused:
