Wait till you get the Bill LOL :p On a serious note though -- any problems people have here often helps others as well. Been more than couple times you'll come across something "weird" thats been mentioned here that can be used later someplace else. Thats kind of what happened in a round about way before, when I mentioned "another Story" relating to a Telstra problem.	wainuitech (129)
1395565	2015-03-15 01:41:00	OK, since my last post I have had no problems, which makes it rather difficult to diagnose them. I think there was a momentary hiccup (yellow ! in the network icon), but it was come and gone, so what that was I have no idea. So I'm now going to reconnect the home security hub, which definitely gave us problems before, so let's see what happens.	Tony (4941)
1395566	2015-03-15 04:56:00	Just now: The main PC lost internet connectivity - could still see the local network. The laptop (wired connection) could still see the internet - but then that stopped too (maybe 20 secs later?). Reset the adapter on the main PC and everything sprang back into life. I had a look at the log on the router and couldn't see anything that made any sense to me. I'll export it a bit later and upload it here to see if anyone else can see something. It exports as an unformatted text file, so I'll massage it into a WORD table - when I get time.	Tony (4941)
1395567	2015-03-15 05:38:00	Okay -- Lets dig a bit deeper, on the Main PC, the one you had to reset, click start, type in eventvwr and open it, under Windows Logs / System -- Look to see if theres any sort of error at the time it drops. Also you can look at another log, click start, type in Reli open "view Reliability History" it may take a second or two - again at the times its dropped, look for any errors, if there are you can usually expand them and "sometimes" ;) they actually give you helpful info.	wainuitech (129)
1395568	2015-03-15 05:55:00	OK, can't spend the time atm. I'll do it later. Just had another lockout. Both PC and laptop simultaneously. I had to rest the adapter on each machines to kick them individually back into life.	Tony (4941)
1395569	2015-03-15 06:43:00	Sounds like the router is dropping its nuts and giving out the same IPs when DHCP daemon crashed. Next time it happens, shut the *other* PC down and watch it spring back into life.	Chilling_Silence (9)

Next time it happens, shut the *other* PC down and watch it spring back into life. Seems a bit to much of a easy fix - Esp since it was mentioned in the first post " the same behaviour occurred with the previous ADSL router" Two different Routers doing the exact same thing, causing the exact same problem -- Hmmmmm ?	wainuitech (129)
1395571	2015-03-15 08:21:00	Also, AFAIK the PC and the laptop have static IP addresses. Looking at the logs will have to wait to tomorrow.	Tony (4941)
1395572	2015-03-15 08:49:00	It just locked up on me again. The main PC continuous ping was giving "destination net unreachable". The laptop continued to ping successfully for maybe 15 secs then gave the same result. I'm now getting "destination net unreachable" from the PC with the occasional "request timed out". I closed down the laptop and nothing changed on the PC, so it looks like Chill's theory is invalid. Reset the onboard adapter and the PC started communicating again. One thing has been demonstrated - the problem does seem to be worse when I have the home security hub plugged in, which is how the laptop is connected atm.	Tony (4941)
1395573	2015-03-15 20:48:00	What if you set all your IP addresses to automatic instead?	Agent_24 (57)
