"Server Not Found" - intermittent drops in web access
Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a problem with the internet, but only on my Windows 7 PCs.
Every now and then, my web access will stop for a minute or so and pages won't load. I get the "Server Not Found" message in Firefox and if I open up IE, I get the equivalent message.
I'm sure it's not a hardware problem as it only statred happening on my PCs since I switched to Windows 7, but it doesn't happen on my wife's XP laptop. In fact, if the web access drops, I can go over to the laptop and the pages will load without a hitch.
Overall internet access to the PCs is fine: I can be downloading a rapidshare file in the background, and the web will stop working but the rapidshare download won't be affected.
I'm unsure as to whether it's the same as this problem, this problem or something else. Either way, I'd appreciate some advice on the best direction to go in.
Thanks!
Any ideas?
