so ive been getting this problem starting around a month ago. daily or 2 times a day my internet will disconnect and windows 10 troublshooter will initially give me an error that it cant communicate with primary dns server -- after a restart it will say my ethernet has an invalid ip configuration

so my troubleshooting process has led me to do this daily

netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
*restart pc*
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/renew

my hdd read and write has tanked this past year so restarts take a long fucking time.

i want to know if theres a way to prevent this -- ive tried a lot of shit, power cycling my router, all the fun stuff. if anyone has any suggestions to prevent my ethernet/dns from killing itself on a daily basis id be glad to hear them

thank u gamers

my networking knowledge is limited but maybe assigning yourself a static IP and DNS would work.

You could also check your current IP configuration and then check it when it's broken. Compare them and figure out what changed.

Also if your HDD is slowing down massively it could be either fragmentation or the HDD dying. So it's either easily fixable or close to screwing you over if you don't have backups. You might want to look into that.

It's also possible that if your HDD is dying that parts of your OS are starting to corrupt which could cause this issue. Another possible cause is that you've filled the vast majority of your HDD to where their's less than a couple GBs of space left.

Assigning yourself a static IP + DNS will almost certainly mitigate the issue (assuming you have an Internal IP and set it up on your router as well) but if your HDD is dying/full as shit/fragmented to hell you're going to have more and more issues elsewhere. If I were you I would first check if their's adequate free space on the HDD (I prefer to leave most of my drives with 10% available space) and if you have that much or more free space already I'd get a SSD/HDD ASAP and install your preferred OS on it and make the other HDD a secondary drive and get whatever you need off of it, and then I would defragment it.
