You're saying that your router takes longer to boot that your PC

How long for each ?
What sort of router ?

I ask because all of the small routers I've met reboot in < 30sec,
whereas most PC's take a couple of minutes at least.

Do you actually Shut Down down your computer or do you put it into
Stand By mode, if the latter then you are not rebooting but
restarting.

Rebooting the router takes much longer than
rebotting the PC, so I usually opt for the PC. This seems to happen about
once
a month and I'm just curious WHY.

I was on a website when I clicked a link and could go nowhere. Got the
message "Firefox cannot find the server...." Also, received the same
message trying to return to my homepage.
So, Closed the browser, deleted cookies, history, etc. and tried to return
to my homepage. Got the same message as above.
Looked at the DSL and all lights were on.
Rebooted the computer (XP PRO) and everthing was fine.
Why the need to reboot ??

We need more detail that "everything was fine." You
suggest you could
1. Connect OK with the target web site, then
2. Return OK to your own home page .
(If not, better repost here.)

Rebooting your PC probably reset the router configuration:
so perhaps rebooting the router alone might have
done the necessary, without rebooting the PC. Only
you can tell, and only if you replicate the malfunction.)


"Everything was fine" meaning I could connect to every website I tried
including "easynews". Rebooting the router takes much longer than
rebotting the PC, so I usually opt for the PC. This seems to happen about

a month and I'm just curious WHY.


My bad on the terminology. I'm NOT using a router. I meant rebooting the DSL
modem. My PC (XP Pro) reboots in approimately 30sec. The modem sometimes
take 10 minutes before I can connect to the web. However, after complaining
for the sixth month in a row about slow DSL speeds to the ISP, the last time I
rebooted the modem it was back up in approximately one minute.
My question concerns Windoz. My system is on 24/7, and about once a month,
I can go nowhere on the web. After I reboot the PC, everything works as
before the "problem" cropped up. I'm just wondering why I have to reboot
every so often when I've changed nothing in my system??
