ok so i'm doing work for on a load of websites for someone who's servers are somewhere in Europe (Amsterdam i believe). Some reason though all day long i loose connection to the server from within a browser, i can't connect to any of the domain or sub domains on this server until a random amount of time later which is usually around 3-15 minutes and this happens all day long every day.

it's odd though as if i disable the connection in network connections on xp and then re-enable it only split seconds later i get access back.

i have mentioned the problem but everyone is lost as to what it could be.

my only thought is that as i could be replacing the server administrators friends job that they could be purposelyfully doing this once they know my new i.p address which is why disabling and re-enabling the connection is fixing allowing me access until it happens once again. i know it sounds stupid but it's the only thing i can thing of.

i have tested on a friends laptop using the same network (though connected wirelessly rather then wired which is how i am connected on my pc) when this happens to me and it's ok for him just me?

i have tried connecting in many different browsers all can't do it. i have also tried pinging the sites in cmd and it connects fine which again is odd :confused:

saying that though i have had problems for a long time that when i download too for a certain amount of time i can loose my connection which again needs same thing disabling and re-enabling, but this stops me connecting to anything not just one site. i have posted the second problem before but never found a solution to it.

so any suggestions as to what it could be and a solution?
