Could someone else with a linksys cable/dsl modem router let me know if they have been having issues with their connections on windows machines. What happens is basically after surfing the web for a while(random amounts of time) I will no longer be able to connect to any sites. It seems like it might be a DNS issue, becasue i can still connect to the router at 192.168.1.1 I have tried all sorts of ipconfig /all, /release, /renew, /flushdns, /registerdns combinations but nothing seems to work outside of the good old reboot. Rebooting works everytime, so what I am wondering is A) what does the reboot do network-wise that I haven't tried with ipconfig, and B) and why does the router decide to crap the bed at random times?
P.S. This problem doesn't seem to happen on my linux machine. though my memory may be fuzzy, if it does happen `/etc/init.d/network restart` solved the problem.
More disclosure, I am using DHCP but am thinking about disabling it since its only 4 machines. and I am using the same firmware I bought it with last october(2000).
Thanks
Mike
