Default Gateway Not Available - Intermittent Internet
I am running Windows 7 64-bit. My Internet connection keeps getting dropped, and when I run the troubleshooter, I can get two different messages: "Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding" or "The default gateway is not available." When I get the former, I might as well give up getting on the Internet. When I get the latter, the problem can be fixed. Any amount of time later, my connection is dropped again. It can be a day or just a couple of minutes.
I used to have a router, but when this problem happened, I wired it straight from the satellite to the modem, from the modem to the computer.
I contacted my ISP, and we ran through several steps all for nothing. I connected my old laptop, and it works just fine.
