No internet?

Bobo · 08-11-2006, 04:50 PM

About a week ago, I started losing internet sporadically between 8 and 10 pm. It would go off for about a minute, then just come back on. Now it does it all day long.

I am connected to the DSL (3.3mbps) by way of a wireless-G network, and the computers that are wired to the router do not have this problem.

Whenever the internet goes off, the network still stays connected. However, sometimes the linksys utility (for the wireless adapter) says that it is connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found.

Does anybody know what is causing this, or how to fix it?

It really didn't help at all.

Also, when the internet is working, running Netscape and AIM causes it to be really laggy in internet stuff.
