i would try google open dns servers and see if that helps

when do you get the error - whats the status of the modem/router lights

can we also see ping tests when its working and again when disconnects

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Google public DNS

Google public DNS

Theres also a link on how to setup those DNS IP address

Ping Tests
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here

Start> Run {search bar in Vista}> CMD to open a DOS window and type:

Type the following command
Ping {plus the number thats shown against the default gateway shown in above ipconfig /all}
Post back the results
rightclick in the box
select all
enter
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste

Type the following command
Ping google.com
Post back the results
rightclick in the box
select all
enter
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste

Type the following command
Ping 209.183.226.152
post back results
rightclick in the box
select all
enter
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste

For your information only
these tests will check various stages of the connection, the first ping test, ping default gateway checks to see if you still have a connection to the router the next two
Ping google.com & Ping 209.183.226.152 tests the connection to internet , one by name and one by number which checks that the dns is working

So what is the problem? Are you running DNS on a local server or letting a SOHO router do it?

[onsite]

where are you getting the WINS server from ? wins is for pre- netbios
