Lion to 10.7.2. - can't maintain an internet connection

I just bought a new iMac and immediately updated to the latest Lion OS (10.7.2). I connected to the internet fine initially but after a few hours of use the connection continually dropping every few seconds when I go to a new URL. It's happening with my Mail and iTunes as well. I am connected via ethernet so it's not a WiFi issue. I have to reload the pages once or twice to get them to load. Does anyone have a fix for this issue?

Hello Emma I presume your in the UK.
In the UK PPPoA is the standard PPPoE is not supported by many ISP's.
On your Mac just use DHCP in your Network settings. Do not use PPPoE.
Then login to your router's web configuration page. http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1. Admin and Password are the usual login details for netgear routers.
use the following details
PPPoA
VC-Mux
Chap authentication
vpi and vci are 38,0
and of course use your isp username and password.
Post edited. I just noticed you had already figured out the correct details.

  • HOW CAN I MAINTAIN AN INTERNET CONNECTION

    Touchsmart 610 randomly "loses" internet connection.  Refreshing several times on desktop restores it.  Modem is good (been replaced); other pc's in house don't have the problem. 

    Hi:
    What model wireless adapter do you have in your PC?
    What operating system?  and is it 32 or 64 bit?
    Maybe a driver update will help.
    If you have the Broadcom wireless card, try the latest driver for it.

  • My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it and re-plug it in, everything is fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

    My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it, and re-plug it in, my Macbook Pro17,IMac 24, iPad air and my wife's Acer 15 works  fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

    It is tricky..
    But yes it can be done as long as you use a different IP subnet to what is being used for the internet..
    So I need to know what modem router you have?? Does it have wireless as that would make it very easy?
    What IP is the computer getting?
    Then I can give you the details to setup wireless statically on a different subnet.

  • Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
    Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
    These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

  • Can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option.

    can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option. i want to have both the airport extremes to use a single imac for streaming music or video to my apple tv's at different places where one apple tv is in the range of one airport extreme.it's not a problem if both airport extremes have different wifi id's with separate internet.The imac which i use for streaming the music and videos is only in the range of only one airport extreme.is it possible if i can stream music or videos to my apple tv which is not in the range of same airport extreme which i use for imac but in the range of other airport extreme.
    Finally what i need is i want to use two internet networks as my highest possible internet bandwidth is about 1mbps.and i know that i cant mix both the networks and make it as 2mbps.

    Yes, that is possible. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how.

  • HT1222 I was trying to update my iOS to 7.1 but I can't, I have internet connection but if requires WiFi? before I can update my OS just using my phone internet but now I can't. Does OS 7.1 really require WiFi? Thanks!

    The iPhone requires wi-fi to update if you try to update over the air, since the phone needs to reboot, thus disconnecting itself. You can update via iTunes and the computer, but you would not be able to tether to the phone for the internet connection, since the phone would disconnect. So, you can either update via wi-fi and the phone, or you can update with a computer that has an internet connection other than the phone.

    There is no reliable way. Better test whether you can go to where you want to go. And be prepared to support proxies, even the complex ones that require authentication. 
    System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable reports your local connectivity regardless of whether one of your connected networks has Internet access.
    Microsoft's Network Awareness API (the one used in control panel\network and sharing center) use a connection test to a web site setup by Microsoft. But your customers could be behind cooperative firewalls that make this test unusable even when Internet
    access is available though other means (e.g. via a local proxy server). If you want to connect to your own web site, then you can skip that and just connect to your web site instead. Even if you were able to connect to Microsoft's web site there is no guarantee
    your web site would be accessible in the same network.

  • Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod?

    Hello everyone,
    I own iPod Touch 4 with iOS 4.3.3 (8J2). I want my iPod be able to connect to the internet when WiFi broadcasting is not available around while I am on the go.
    So my question is: Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod? With which smartphone or mobile OS other than iPhone/iOS?
    I don't want to JB my iPod Touch.
    I heard that smartphones with Android can tether the internet connection to iPod Touch, bu I am not sure, I searched the internet but couldn't find anything as I wanted.
    Thanks, regards.

    I've got a (now considered ancient) Nokia N95 8 GB mobile, with the app JoikuSpot Light on it - has been working really well though I wouldn't suggest buying Nokia if you were going to buy a new mobile...if you happen to get your hands on an old-ish Nokia or Ericsson (Symbian platform) Joiku will do a good job of creating a wifi hotspot.

    Some more information other than why would help. Does your service provider allow cellular data on your plan? Do you have cellular data turned on? Are you in a area with cellular coverage?

  • Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

    Not completely familiar with  wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

    Hi,
    It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.
    Regards.
