"The "Warn:Error 12007" is an error message associated with a connection failure. This, combined with your other problem is telling me you may not necessarily have a software problem...more likely a broadband line issue. This unfortunately is something for your service provider to test and resolve.
In the interim, if you may be able to get a connection at least a part of the time, try temporarily turning off your firewall and/or antivirus and see if it makes a difference. " this was cut and pasted off another fourm for you to use

I had a lightning strike very nearby back in December and it wiped out my cable modem, router, and the ethernet port on one computer, so I know that this happens. First, try different ports on your router to make sure it is not just one of the ports on the router. Test the router ports by plugging your laptop inot the ethernet porst on the router to make sure it is not a problem with the ethernet ports on the router? When you plug the cable from the problem computer into one of the LAN ports on your router, do the link lights on both the router and near the ethernet port on your computer light up? If not, then it suggests the port is blown.
