Internet

Hi Ben

Thanks for your answer.
"Often" is exactly the point. Sometimes, sometimes not. As soon as you are
not able anymore to access the internet via browser you need to reboot.
There is no error-message: The browser simply waits for the page with no
end. If I wouldn't know, that zattoo-tv works, I would be shure, that there
is no internet connection at all.

Have you got an idea?

Things to try
1. If your customer is using a Router, update the Firmware.
2. update Network Adaptor drivers.
3. right-click Network connection>Properties> unbind TCP/IPv6.
4. Start IE7 with no add-ons.

Mick gave you some good tips. You might also check and see what your
DNS settings are - this is a home machine, right? Do you have Vista SP1
installed? What kind of firewall/routers are you using?

Hi
To avoid unnecessary trial and error you need to find out what is the
phenomenon and provide info.
Just stating the general problem is like saying "Help me I can not use my
Car".
