This constantly started to happen some time ago. I connect to my router andand lose every few seconds connection to router and it reconnects again. I have screenshooted most errors that Event Viewer reported. First comes overview:

And now 3 events that happened at the same time:

As you noticed, all 3 came at same time, when first was warning saying something about semaphore timeout, second was about losing lease and last was about NAT.

After several minutes of this happening, i could not connect to router as NIC showed that it was aquiring address and just repeated connection attempts until i just had to cancel connection. You can see this in Event Viewer:

This problem happens with other hotspots as well.

This could be caused by a few things, but looks to be specific to your NIC.

Try these steps:

  • Upgrade the NIC drivers
  • Try and get alternate drivers working (uninstall custom drivers and see what windows comes up with via windows update, or install vendor specific drivers)
  • Boot to Ubuntu via a live CD, and see if you experience the issues under a different OS.
  • See if any high network traffic applications are consistently running when this happens.
  • Wireless Zero Configuration might be interfering, disable the service.
  • Disable any 3rd party firewall software you may have running (or other related security software) to see if the issue solves itself.
  • Try clearing the ARP cache when renewal fails (See Method 4)
    • netsh interface ip delete arpcache

As an additional debugging step to ensure it was NIC related would be to use another external wireless adapter (like a USB based NIC) to see if it would also experience the same problems under your OS.

  • That's pretty logical solution you advice here Sara. Do you know if it is possible to boot to Ubuntu directly from CD or other external media? Thanks.

    Yes booting can be achieved easily via CD/DVD, or if your motherboard supports it you can do it via a correctly configured USB.

  • Should i burn it on CD-R or CD-RW media? I know it gets updated often and hence this question.

    CD-R is fine, they're very cheap, and the time that'll pass between needing to burn the next version will be a while.
