DNS service in Vista Home Premium dead after some time

[Jos Verstappen]

Hi,

I'm using MS Vista Home Premium and have a wireless connection to the
internet. It seems that after letting the computer download a night, using
uTorrent client, the DNS service is unavailable. I can't connect to any
website using IE or Firefox. Vista's network repair option says I have to
contact my ISP. But when I try to view a website from my other PC running XP
Pro, there's no trouble. What could be wrong? A reboot helps, but that's a
temporary solution.

I have a Linksys WMP54G wireless card that connects to a SpeedTouch 570
wireless router. Maybe the router doesn't work well with Vista?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post back the result of ipconfig /all when that happens again.
