I've been having this problem with one of my computers (of three) on a
network here at home. I'm hoping that someone can offer some advice or
another list or forum where I might ask this question.
All three computers are networked via a Linksys BEFSR41 router, all Win2K
SP2, on a cable modem (thankfully with AT&T Broadband service just
restored...).
On only one of the machines, it often happens that when I'm either
downloading a large file or the web browser gets hung up with a DNS search,
it's as though some buffer has overflowed and the browser times out. I
cannot make any connection to the internet after that without restarting
the computer.
Because I've replicated this on IE5.5, Netscape, and Opera browsers, I
don't think it's software dependent. Is it possible that my NIC has gone
bad? It is a D-Link approx. 3 years old.
Any ideas or additional forums to ask would be greatly appreciated!
