Hey guys, long time no see!
Anyways, in December, I finally bought my first new Mac, a Late 2012 i5 Mini. About a week after I got it, I decided to install my copy of 7 Ultimate x64. While it works great and all, I seem to be having a problem with the reliability of the internet connection in 7. Every once in a while (WiFi and Wired both), the connection will drop and eventually pick back up. Since I am in OS X 90% of the time (Which I have no problems with the connection in OS X), it really wasn't a big deal for me until I started getting back into Vintage PCs, and needed 7 to download programs and such for the older PCs. Now it's getting a bit annoying. I know it's not the connection in general, as there are other computers on the router, and they are not having any problems. I even went so far as to direct connect the Mac to the cable modem, and still had the same problem.
Anyone else have this problem? Any help is appreciated!
