Hey guys, having a few problems with my internet connection. I'm far from an expert so you'll have to bear with me.
I only get this problem on two wireless networks, either the one at my home, or the one in my University house. I get intermittent internet, it cuts out, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes an hour, and the only way to get it back is by resetting the router, and running a diagnose + repair from Network and Sharing Centre and then by Resetting the Wireless Router, which doesn't always fix the problem.
Sometimes I get a "Windows cannot connect to DNS Server" error, and sometimes it just fixes itself.
After a few quick searches, I've tried resetting WINSOCK entries to installation defaults (netsh winsock reset catalog) and reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults (netsh int ip reset reset.log) but this doesn't seem to have worked.
Here is the results of an iconfig/all on my system:
