My internet browsers have stopped working there seems to be an epidemic of this problem going around. Here's what my computer has done and is doing specificly.
First off I use windows vista
I was having problems connecting to EQ2 so under the advice of one of SOE's tech guys I restarted my router, that fixed that problem but then a couple hours later my browser (netscape) stopped working. I had no problem connecting to EQ2 at this time. I asked a friend about the problem and he said I should ipconfig/flushdns and I did, that fixed the problem, but it came back after an hour or so, I tried it again and it didn't fix it. Based on my friends recommendation I got the new IE and installed that to use as a new browser. The problem persists. On a whim I restarted my router again and it fixed the problem for a few hours but then it went back to what it was before. I tested it after I reset the router by randomly browsing youtube for six hours and everything was fine but as soon as I started looking through a gallery site it stopped working.
Now the only thing that fixes the problem is restarting my computer. It seems to only conk out after I've loaded up a bunch of pages like from gallaries, wiki and the like.
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appriciated, if you need any more info let me know and I'll provide it.
