The problem began when I started running servers such as Terraria, Minecraft, and others. Initially, everything worked without issues, but over time my PC would suddenly lose internet access while phones, tablets, and laptops remained connected. This disruption forces me to restart my PC and re-launch the servers repeatedly. I’m unsure whether the issue lies with my Windows PC or if it’s related to router settings.

It might be a network driver issue causing your server and PC to lose internet access. Verify your network adapter configuration (WLAN vs LAN). Review crash logs via Windows Event Viewer. Restart drivers.

LAN connection established, though servers are redirected regardless. Crash logs reveal an issue: "distributedcom The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID..."

The port forwarding doesn't affect this because it's only about the protocol, not the physical layer. As @manikyath pointed out, Windows should handle permission issues without interference. If reinstalling network drivers doesn't help, try using a wlan adapter temporarily to test if your LAN interface works properly on the hardware side.

That happened, but the servers worked normally until one random day when my PC dropped the connection. It occurred four times already, and even after being on for two hours now it’s fine—still odd. I’ve reinstalled the drivers, so I hope that resolves it.
