2 XP machines flip online / offline randomly, and frequently, after working ok for a long time. Have changed nothing. And a notebook still gets online ok. New Win 8 machine can't get online and it's asking for logon scripts or static proxy server address. I don't know this stuff so need help.
My Network: a very remote modem, a closer router, and several Netgear extenders.
A while back the intermittent on/offline activity was corrected by you guys, by refreshing the router, which I did today - did not help with the new machine.
Anyway, I'm guessing 1) the XP machines components are starting to fail and one XP machine has other problems, justifying a new one. Plus I now have a really good test in place, using the new machine.
What's the next step, thanx.
