775482 2009-05-20 12:31:00 Well every so often when im browsing on Firefox or IE i open a new page it just times out or doesn't even give me the message to show that its timed out instead it just stops.

I normally give it about 5 mins and it works again, and its not just on one site its happened on a lot of different sites and is really starting to annoy me. mainly because i have been unable to fix it as of late as it just stays timed out until i restart my computer. I'm also able to talk on msn/irc etc but not able to browse using IE or FF which i find quite bizarre.

Does anybody have any problems as to why this would be happening?

O/S: Windows Vista home Preminum 32-bit
Firefox Version: 3.0.1
Internet Explorer: 7.0.6001.18000

I don't think it has to do with the browsers themselves because if it was i would only expect it to happen with one, but two and at the same time seems like a very unlikely circumstance.

ISP?

Are you on a home network which others share?

Connection wireless or other?

Does this happen only when you are using msn/irc?

OP:Does it happen to all computers on the network or just one?

Are you connected directly to the modem or via a router/ap?

My ISP is Vodafone

I'm using Wired

And nope it happens regardless if im not using them :|

Nope there isn't any other wireless devices around.


Another note: I do have the option for wireless in my laptop but have it turned off as i have no wireless at the moment and don't plan on stealing anyone elses bandwidth.

I'm the only computer connected to my router and it is directly connected if that helps.

775488 2009-05-20 22:40:00 How old is the modem you have?

Chances are, its either overheating or not up to the job any more, causing frequent disconnects

RIng up your ISP and they should chuck you a new one for free.
