Stories similar to Internet connection lost for browser but still there for transmission

I have a simple one today, I've been using transmission for a couple months now and since the beginning I noticed that if I open transmission, NOTHING else works.. well, I'm talking about internet, not even typing google.com at browser.

I tried setting up the upload limit to 5kbps and download to 20kbps..

Weak Internet connection 44 weeks 2 days ago

Connection to Internet stops when connected to wired Internet using network manager.

Ubuntu 12.04.

I'm using F17 x64

Whenever I try to download using a torrent with the Transmission program, after a while I lose my internet connection until I reboot.

Everything else works ok, but Linux (F17) is no good to me if I cant transfer files using torrents.

I dont want to go back to Windows, but I dont know how to solve this problem.

Thanks for any help, -Areal :blink:

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 way long back back .

Hello world,

I'm experiencing a problem where (usually) a few minutes after booting and logging in to Ubuntu, my internet connection is lost. Or perhaps not "lost", but tabs in Firefox keeps loading, so I don't get an error message but nothing happens. Spotify runs fine btw.

For some reason I've gotten this feeling that it's not a problem with Firefox, but something in Ubuntu.

I got my Starling System 76 netbook today. Started it up and had good luck with my wifi. I saw that updates were available and I did them. They took about 14 minutes and I don't believe I did upgrade to 9.10 Karmic. I am still at 9.04 Jaunty.

I just built my desktop, and connected it to the internet wirelessly shortly afterwards. I have a wireless PCI-E adapter in my motherboard. After a random amount of time(5-30 minutes), the internet stops loading. At the top corner, it still says I am connected to the internet. After clicking that icon, disconnecting, and then reconnecting once again, this same process begins again.

I am connecting to a non-secured wireless network, and the connection is fine, yet when I open my internet browser the pages will not load. It is as if there is no internet connection.

The internet connection was working perfectly fine a week ago.

thanks

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 two days ago. I have a dell Studio XPS 1645. I changed my internet to WPA2 yesterday, and it connected and worked fine. I turned it off and when I turned it back on today it finds the connection, does the connecting thing (where the picture goes around) then says it is disconnected as if I lost connection.
