| 285417 | 2004-10-28 05:15:00 | Sorry to reintroduce this topic under another heading, but I wonder if someone out there knows what might be happening. As I said earlier, each time I shut down or restart my PC, I lose my Internet connection. Nothing except a system restore seems to resolve the problem. Grateful for any help. Thanks. | k8smum (6062) | ||
| 285418 | 2004-10-28 05:26:00 | I think it may be time to call in a reputable repairman k8smum your problems don't seem to be getting any better. This is the 3rd thread you've started on the same subject & your problem is still unresolved. I'm not trying to be clever or sarcastic but sometimes one just has to bite the bullet & seek professional help. I'd take it to a professional & get an opinion & a quote Most will give you an indication of cost before they start work |

| 285419 | 2004-10-28 05:43:00 | I've been leaning toward that line of thinking too. I might be able to get one of the Old Boy's IT colleagues to have a look next time they're passing. Meantime, is there any danger in continuing to do system restores? | k8smum (6062) | ||
| 285420 | 2004-10-28 06:12:00 | I havent really followed the other threads but I want to relay a problem I had with my internet connection. I am on adsl. I use a alcatel 4 port router (only comp connected). Occassionally normally after several hours idle I would not be able to view any web pages. I would still have a connection to the net but always get 'page cannot be displayed'. To fix I would have to reboot and all good again. While trolling for ideas to fix I thought about the DNS settings. By simply entering xtra's (my isp) dns settings (as opposed to automatically) fixed my problem. Have you tried this? sam m |

| 285422 | 2004-10-28 08:17:00 | yea, ive suggested this in another resort, as a last resort of course, back up your important data then do a reformat, if it still doesnt go get a pro to fix it... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 285423 | 2004-10-28 09:00:00 | sam m, I have been having the exact same problem as you had as of late. I am going to try entering the DNS settings as per your suggestion. If if works it'll be bloody great!!!!! Thanks ;-) Donna |

I had been on adsl for a while without this prob but prior to fixing it I would have put up with it for about 6 months before stumbling across this solution. |

I have had adsl for approx 2 1/2 years and had no probs. I was putting it down to the install of SP2 as it begun just after that. |

| 285426 | 2004-10-28 10:16:00 | Try turning OFF system restore . Maybe each time you reboot system restore is kindly restoring to a point where your stuff isn't configured properly . I've seen stranger things . System restore has always been a hunk o' junk (IMHO) . It's especially nice how it acts like a repository for virus' . Just when you think you've cleaned em . . .
