Where you living in an Eclectic Field environment ?, what are you
saying
it
doesn't draw a good or a real picture.
What your operating system version and How old is it?.
what connection are you using DSL, ADSL, ISDN, does your computer get
overheated or exposed to the sun <G>?.
Please provide more Info about your computer and the surrounding
environment
like do you live near a Mast or Electric Power Station, which it
doesn't
make sense at all.
HTH.
Let us know.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I am not living near an elect field and my
Dell computer about 5 years old does not overheat for this occurs when
the
machine has been switched off over night. My computer is networked with
3
other computers in the house, and there is a mass of wires for these
connections installed by an engineer. I do wonder wether some sort of
static is induced by these wires. I do not live near a mast or Power
Station, and am not sure of the connection I am using, but this is
happening
every time now. I take out the mains plug short out the pins with a
metal
plate and sure enough I get connected to the internet.

Open a run command and type in:
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot your computer.
Also you can download this winsock fixer from here:
http://www.nasstec.co.uk/tools.html
Run it and you will be prompted to Reboot, it is the same as the command
above with the difference that it is refresh the Vbs for the Winsock.
I will check the wires the there are no Power cable runing side-by-side
with
Telphone cable or Network cables that can create a magentic field can
effect
your connection resulting in some errors or losing your connection, try to
isolate if any electric cables runnning in this structure or collection of
wires.
Check your Power supply is okay and not defective, also check the power
cord
from the Computer and the mains.
Check for Error messages (X) that can shed some light on any message can
expose the culprit.

Hi Thanks so much for your information. I first tried to isolate some of
the cables as you suggested especially the phone line from the mass of
cables under my PC I am networked and have a small space only under my PC so
the cables are very bunched up. I have only tested it for a day so am not
sure, but since the cables have been separated I have had no trouble
getting straight on to the internet. Thanks again.
