| | internet problems after several hours My internet connection works perfectly for anywhere between 5 and 30 hours, and then things start screwing up. I can't load anything in my browser (tried IE7, Firefox, and Opera), including my router administration page. It immediately comes up with the error loading page. I also can't connect to my mail server. But at the same time, I can ping, traceroute, and resolve addresses from the command line. When I restart my computer, everything works for several hours, but eventually the problems will start again. I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix it, but I assume it must be a problem on my local computer. Any ideas? |

| | Re: internet problems after several hours My ISP is Charter High-Speed, my modem is an Ambit SpeedStream 60678EU, my router is a D-Link DGL-4100 (I have also tried using my older D-Link DI-604 router with the same results). I don't know what changed. It took a while before I even realized this was a reoccurring problem due to the amount of time that needs to pass without a reboot. I do tend to try new software fairly frequently. The only software firewall I use is Windows Firewall, which I have tried disabling to no avail.

| | Re: internet problems after several hours This seems to have solved my problem, thank you. I'm not sure why Internet Connection Sharing was enabled on my system but I installed that hotfix and disabled ICS and I haven't gotten disconnected yet. "John B" wrote: Quote: |
