ok... i'm not sure if this is on the hardware or software side. but here's the story:
i have a cable modem, so i'm connected to the net all the time. when i get home last night i right click my msn messenger and click sign in, only to get the message, "you are not currently connected to the internet.... etc." something like that. so i try internet explorer. maybe it's just messenger. amazingly, it's not just messenger and i can't load anything. i really have no internet connection. no messengers will connect and i can't load anything. but all the lights on my modem and blinking like normal. and everythings connected right.
so... i begin watching tv. about an hour and a half later i hear my msn messenger connect. so i try yahoo messenger. connects fine. so i load internet explorer. everything loads just fine.
then... about 2 hours later or so. my internet explorer performs some illegal operation and my whole computer freezes. so i have to restart. when i do and everything is loaded, i again have no connection. finally i got tired of it and went to bed.
and today when i woke up i'm apparently back on the internet.
can someone please explain to me why i sometimes don't have a connection, even tho i have a cable modem??
thanks
