have 3 computer all on DSL, but only the Vista machine keeps giving a
message about not having 'internet access' every once in a while during my
work, then asks for the program to be shut down. This also happens on my
other vista computer at home. it's getting a little annoying to close the IE
in the middle since somehow the computer/program keeps losing the internet
connection.

thanks for any assistance.

network connectivity???? anyone?

You should goto the Command Prompt and do an IPconfig /all to see what
IP the machine has when connectivity to the Internet is lost.

You should be able to do this to see what the IP is when there is a good
connection as opposed to the IP it has when the connection is lost.

You should be able to do an Ipconig /release and IPconfig /renew to
establish connection back to the Internet, without having to shut down a
program.

But you should call your DSL ISP tech support about the problem and tell
them you have Vista to see if there is a fix or workaround.
