Internet Connection Keeps Dying
This is getting very annoying. I use my laptop wirelessly. We have a Linksys
router and Verizon DSL. My laptop (HP Pavilion) has built in WiFi. Lately the connection keeps dying. My router says I'm connected, the DSL modem says it's connected, even my computer says I'm connected but I am unable to load webpages or download email. Resetting the router does nothing, resetting the DSL modem does nothing, resetting the damn WiFi card does nothing. It still shows I'm connected but I'm not. The only thing that works is rebooting the computer and this happens twice a day, always in the evening. Anyone have any ideas?

Internet Connection Keeps Dying
I have a similar problem. I find that I lose real connections often in
the evening if I have not performed any net access for several minutes. I am able to power off the DSL modem for a few minutes and then access is restored when I power it back up. You can check to see if it's a DNS problem by pinging a known live address the next time you're down. If the ping is okay then it's Verizon's DNS servers. Try pinging 216.109.112.135 (Yahoo.com).

Internet Connection Keeps Dying
You're right. It happened again a few minutes ago and I was able to ping
Yahoo, Google, Amazon. etc just fine. I tried powering off the modem and it didn't work. I had to reboot. This is getting really frustrating and really old fast. Verizon needs to fix their servers!!

You don't have to use them.. You can use OpenDNS
https://www.opendns.com/start I use them with my ISP DNS servers so if one fails, I still have name resolution. --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Sat, 1 Dec 2007 21:50:55 -0500, "Sue" wrote: You're right.
