    lose browsing capability every two hours and must reboot

    I have a dell e1405 laptop with vista.
    I have tried many solutions thru dell tech support but no help. We have
    reset the dns tvp4 to address 4221 as well.
    My stock app and my radio app continue to get data from the internet, but
    I cannot browse after a couple of hours. Safemode with networking does
    not allow browsing even at startup so this may be a key issue to find
    solution.

    I tried removing the checkmark in the network adapter power management that
    stops the adapter to save power, but didn't help.

    Microsoft website suggests to reset the winsock protocol for internet
    connectivity issues. Should I try that?

    thanks for your help

    Sure, I would try that first. If that doesn't fix the problem, try to reconfigure TCP/IP or DHCP settings. These post may help too,

    Re: lose browsing capability every two hours and must reboot

    I haven't tried the winsock reset yet because microsoft says I may need to
    reinstall apps like norton.
    So I am trying to determine first if that will solve the problem.
    I have tried chicagotech solutions without any benefit as well as
    reconfiguring tcp/ip.

    When the problem occurs, I can ping yahoo.com, but I cannot
    ping microsoft.com

    And I cannot browse even with firefox.

    what does that tell us?

    thanks for any help .

    I can't ping www.microsoft.com from startup, but the windows connection
    diagnostic says there is no problem with my connection, and I can browse to
    www.microsoft.com and anywhere else for two to three hours.

    what's the problem?

    Re: lose browsing capability every two hours and must reboot

    I performed the winsock reset but it didn't help.

    I have tried everything without benefit. I must rebooot every two the
    three hours .

    is this a vista bug?

    Why do you moderators ignore my posts?

    This isn't a moderated forum, Richard. Most people, if they have nothing useful
    to say, will say nothing.

    The Winsock reset is just 1 of 5 LSP / Winsock repairs, and not 1 of the 5 is
    any more effective than the others.

    Pinging Microsoft isn't a good test. Generally, Microsoft blocks pings. Try
    something like "www.yahoo.com".
