Hi db,
I contacted my router manufacturer (lynksis) and found that there is a
firmware upgrade for my router. I have now upgraded. My problem in
intermittent, so I don't yet know if that will help.
my problems occur in wireless operations, my rj45 connectors seem fine.
Thanks for the reset batch file. I can recall using some of those commands
in the past. Having the batch file will make is simple in the future.

the ports on the laptop
are not reliable, physically
that is.
one possibility is that
the rj45 port is the
cause of intermittent
failure with the signal.
there is a unique connector
that would not be a bad
tool to have, as it can be
used for laptops and pc's:
http://www.ramelectronics.net/network/network-cards/usb-ethernet-adapters/c40000-c43000-c43004-p1.html
see if you can find something
like this around your area.
the above is a hardware
work around if the laptop
port is the faulty culprit.
in addition maybe the
little batch file i made
sometime ago will come
in handy as well:
-------------------------
start run cmd ~
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
netsh int ip reset
regsvr32 softpub.dll
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset catalog
--------------------------
copy the above into
notepad and save it
something like
resetip.bat
then run it whenever
you think it might help.
then there is one more
possible thing to look
at.
open the browser and
type in 191.168.0.1
and see if there is something
here you need to modify.
your dsl provider can help
you with this method or
maybe you can use the
other computer to compare
the settings.

Oooops,
I take back my condemnation of the modem. One time when the problem
arose, I took my wife's computer to the modem and took the cable that
goes from the modem to the router, uplugged it from the router and
plugged it directly into the Ethernet port on her laptop and that gave
internet access. (In other words now the the only thing between the
computer and the wall outlet was the modem, and the connection was
working.) To me that means the modem is fine, but there might be some
subtleties I am missing.

Thanks to all who have contributed. I now have quite a list of things
to do and read about when next this problem raises its ugly head. At
this point I am suspicious of my modem. I bought the modem for $50
with a $50 rebate from ATT when I first got DSL from them in May. I am
now at a different location where ATT does not offer DSL so I started
getting DSL from Qwest in October, and when I signed up with Qwest they
were not sure if my modem would work on their system. Well it works,
but maybe I am finding out that it does not work so well. Also, when I
was at Best Buy the other day I think I saw a DSL modem for about $80,
so I started to think "do I have a cheapo modem?" Time will tell.

Hello,
This is happening more to my wife's new Toshiba laptop running Vista
than to my Dell laptop running XP-SP2.
The computer will loose access to the internet, and the fix is to
unplug the power to the DSL modem and the wireless router, wait a few
seconds, re-power the modem and router, wait 3 minutes then start
Internet Explorer. This has always fixed the problem, but I would like
to better understand the underlying cause. This started happening more
often after my wife got a new Toshiba laptop. It often happens that my
Dell laptop is still connected to the internet. At first I thought
that since only her computer was having a problem that there must have
been some problem with her computer and that turning power off and on
to the modem and router would not be the fix, but it was the fix after
all. I guess there is some part of networking here that does not make
sense to me, probably because I do not know a lot about networking.
Is there some other way to attack the problem to make it happen less
frequently?
Also, I looked for a Vista help newsgroup, but could not find one.
TIA for any help,
Tom
