Connected to Modem but no Internet
This keeps happening after long periods of the machine being powered off. I will boot the machine and the network connection icon will tell me there is No Internet, but I can still connect to the modem. I've been just rebooting the machine to get internet again. It hasn't failed to reconnect on reboot yet /knock on wood.
Now I know this has been partially discussed for wireless connections in other threads but this is not the same issue. The reason I say this is this DSL modem has two wireless connections on it as well as my machine which is wired. If I boot my machine and get the no internet alert it kicks the two wireless machines off the internet as well.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and no this is not a browser issue. The network connection icon on the task bar is producing the no internet warning before loading a browser. I have both Firefox and IE 8 on this O/S.
Any ideas?
