Setup.
Cable Modem
Hardwired PC downstairs, direct into router
Two PCs upstairs, into switch thence to router
One PC upstairs, wireless
One networked printer, also into router.
The "Two Pcs" are my Vista Ultimate x64, and a testbed running W7 RC1; these have a DVI switch to share the monitor
Every now and again I am unable to even ping sites such as news. bbc.co.uk, and many others.
Yet, if I switch to the PC downstairs, or even the other one by my side, these sites can be pinged and opened in a browser.
Sometimes this will go on all day, and then seem to resolve itself. Other times, it disappears and I am fine for another couple of days.
Nothing seems to point to any pattern of activity that might be causing this.
Any ideas? It's beginning to piddle me off...
