I started having this problem yesterday, it happens every now and then. Other
PCs using my shared internet connection stay online just fine, but my system
reacts as if I had unplugged the modem. I mean, it doesn't even look for
websites, it just says it can't connect. I have an ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe, all
ASUS Vista x64 drivers installed for this mobo, and it worked fine for 7 days
before, so don't know what the problem is.
Kind of annoying, really.

I have having the exact same problem. I have tried a number of things like
changing the registry with some settings I found doing google searches.
Also, I have tried different NICs. Nothing works. The internet connection
gets dropped all the time unless I reboot. The interesting thing here is
that the LAN computers and the internet is not available, however, my hamachi
connection remains live and I can see the other computers on my LAN via the
hamachi IP. Any help?

I got an odd work around for you:

I have the exact same problem. If you wait long enough, the connection
actually MIGHT come back. Could be a few minutes, or a few hours.

Something someone posed on another board to get this to work:

Go to Windows Update, and click on "Check For New Updates" (or something
like that).

It will probably fail a few times. Click it repeatedly... After about 10
times or so, your connection magically re-appears.

Not super technical, but it saves a re-boot!

Good luck!

Microsoft has a new update that may fix this issue. Check this link for more
details.

Windows Vista Update and download
Microsoft just release a new update 941649 on 10/25/07. Based on our tests,
it does fix many incompatible issues and improve the reliability.
