Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the place for this, but I'm hoping someone here might be able to enlighten me.
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition on my HP 2.4 GHz, 512 DDSDRAM, with an 80 GB HHD pc. I connect to the internet with a SpeedStream 5200 router and use IE 6.1 to browse.
My problem is that during certain hours (usually between 2am and 6am) I get the 'Unable to open page' message when trying to surf. This has happened consistantly since the begining of March. What is strange is that I am able to load the actual SpeedSteam page. Where I have tried to reboot and/or reset my router and IP address (which works, but doesn't help). I'm also able to ping them successfully, but no other site.
I called the SpeedStream tech support on several occasions. They have tried quite a few different things like resetting the router and pinging (ha ha) as well as having me try to access websites by there IP addresses as opposed to their www's, clearing temp and cookies. They feel that the fact that I can reach SpeedStream but not anyplace else means the problem is with MY pc.
The thing of it is, why does it 'cures itself' after 6am? I should also add that there have been other times when tech support had denied any problem, only to find out from my phone company that a problem actually does exist. When that happened I was given a discount for lack of service. Now I'm starting to think the phone co. is joining tech support to keep from refunding their clients.
I run AVG and update it every day, and scan each night. I also use Trend's Housecalls and Sybot once a week and use Sygate as my firewall. No viruses have been found. Yes, I like free stuff that works

Anyone that has anything to offer in the way of enlightenment will be greatly appreciated.
