For as long as I can remember, by Internet connection has had a tendency to fail, unprovoked in regular intervals once or twice a day. For quite a long time, I thought it was my DSL modem needing a refresh-restart, but a recent discovery proved this wrong.
You see, whenever this would happen, I would try to re-establish the connection by restarting the modem, and it always worked. However, just the other day when I had this problem, I went to restart the modem and saw my Mom browsing on the other computer unhindered, still with 100% Internet access. Therefore, I know my problem is isolated in MY computer.
I really don't know why this happens and I would be very appreciative of anyone who might understand exactly what is going on. It's not the end of the world if it's not fixed, but it's more than a little annoying to be browsing, click a link and feel a sinking feeling as the browser fights an uphill battle to connect to the website and then presents you with the dreaded error 404 message.
