I was hoping you guys could help.
Im on my girlfriends PC and she is having trouble with her ADSL connection. She is able to connect fine, and use msn, internet explorer, and Firefox. However after about 5 minutes of use, the problem develops.
She is still able to stay connected on msn and chat away quite happily, but Internet Explorer and Firefox are no longer able to display pages and when trying to look a page up, will eventually just time out. Ive managed to ping the modem successfully, but im out of idea's.
Disconnecting and Reconnecting has no effect, but Restarting the PC fixes the problem (only for it to reoccur). All the modem lights are still on when the problem occurs btw.
I also checked IPConfig, and it still has the correct IP address 82.xxx.xxx.xxx, not 0.0.0.0 or 163.0.0.0
She has BTopenworld broadband connection, and a Alcatel Speedtouch USB Modem.
Anyone got a good suggestion?
