Curse

AS the subject says, everytime I get onto the game I lose internet connection completely on my pc and have to restart my pc just to be able to connect again. This happens everytime I get on GW but I havent had this issue before with my router. I tried updating my drivers for the network card, disabling my firewalls, opening ports, and doing a direct connection to the modem but none seem to work. The mother board I'm using is a Black Series GF8200A from Elitegroup. I am running windows 7. Help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like the IPv6 Issue with Windows 7, could try the below. (I did not write the below, I'm simply Copy + Pasting what I would have typed out to save time)

Quote:

Select the Control Panel.

Under Network and Internet select View Network Status and Tasks.

In the View your Connections section, click on Your Local Area Connection which will bring up a new window.

Click on Properties.

Uncheck the box on the same line as Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).

Click Ok, then click Close.

Welcome back to uninterrupted connection to the Internet!

Now additionally there could be another fix, I suggest you try both as one of them is most likely bound to fix the issue. This next part isn't exactly long but it requires some dicking around in the Command Prompt, if you're not comfortable with doing that I suggest you get your local PC Geek to help you.

Step 1: Launch CMD (Start --> Enter CMD in the Search Bar and Press Enter)

Step 2: Type this next line exactly as I've written it "netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled"

Step 3: Restart your computer and try to launch Guild Wars.

If that doesn't work then we'll try manually forcing various IPv6 functions offline so we can rule it out as an issue. To reduce clutter and multi-posting the next suggestion I was going to give you was a few more CMD commands.

Type the below exactly as I've written them.

netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set state disabled disabled

netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set routing disabled disabled

netsh interface ipv6 isatap set router default disabled

netsh interface ipv6 isatap set state disabled

netsh interface ipv6 set teredo disabled

If this third optional fix / suggestion doesn't resolve your issue I'm going to classify it as a Windows 7 doesn't like your NIC issue which either means A) Moving back to Windows XP or Vista, B) Dealing with the issue, C) Buying a new NIC to test with.
