The modem is connected directly to the desktop with an ethernet cable. There is no router. I'm wondering if I should get a router. I have unplugged the modem but only for a minute or two.

I have had many problems with their DSL over the years and usually it takes them 2 weeks to figure out what their problems are. I have had similar problems to what you are experiencing and it cleared up in a week. Meanwhile I was banging my head against the Qwest wall. Is your computer connected directly to the DSL modem (ie cat5 cable) or wirelessly? If wirelessly, try connecting directly with a cable. Have you unplugged your DSL modem and let it sit for a while? Are you connecting through a router/switch/hub? Tell us more about your network setup.
