Windows 8 Pppoe error 651 & networking

Post by kevvie81 »

Hi ! I hope you can give some sort of advice.

I've installed Windows8 and have run all windows updates.

however, it doesn't matter which internet browser I open (firefox, chrome, IE), my mouse gets sluggish, and networking fails. although the little icon in the taskbar shows that networking is still connected. (ethernet cable to the adsl modem). I use a pppoe dialup connection to connect to my adsl isp. There is nothing I can do to let it work, so I have to restart the PC every time. So maybe it's a driver that crashes? :shock:

With windows 7, I do not have this problem at all.

The only network adapter driver is auto installed with windows8, and there's none available OS specific for windows 8. (have a gigabyte motherboard).

Have any of you experienced the same issue?
