This is a very strange problem and I am at my wits end. I have had DSL
service for about 18 months and have recently (last 30 days) developed
a problem I cannot address. After re-booting I can access the internet
for about 10 minutes then get page not found errors. Only way to
correct is reboot (complete shut down).
The PC is standalone running Window XP SP2 with all available updates
for MS.
I have tried the following:
1. Talked with my provider, they can see me connected when this occurs.
2. Replaced DSL Modem with 2-Wire Home Gateway (not using wireless).
3. Replaced Ethernet card.
4. Replaced cables.
5. Switched firewalls (Windows, 2 Wire and no firewall) all with no
differance.
6. Removed Anti-Virus program (un-installed).
7. Ran Spyware programs (Spy-bot, Lavesoft, and Yahoo Anti Spy).
8. Uninstalled and reinstalled my DSL software.
9. Manually configured DNS
10. Used different Browsers (IE, Foxfire...)
11. Logging on and off my specific user profile makes no difference.
12. Same problem occurs on all profiles on the computer (4).
13. Restored computer to a point before this started.
Also removed VPN client and connection. This continued to work even
when the normal internet connection was dropped (before removal).
When the error occurs all lights on the modem continue to show full
connectivity/activity if I select a link or bookmark. I can ping sites
from the CMD prompt just cannot access them from the browser. Running
ipconfig/all with and without the problem shows no difference.
Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.
