The Default Gateway is not Available
Since September last year, six times my internet connection fails and this is not the router / broadband connection.
The same pattern occurs, lose internet connection, open Network and Sharing Centre, run Troubleshooter. Fortunately it fixes the problem but the message is always the same: "The Default Gateway is not Available" and the fix is "Reset the Local Area Connection Adapter". It then connects again and no problem until another month when the same thing happens. I am not noticing any particular pattern of activity before this happens.
At this point, because this is intermittent and always fixed, I am looking for a light touch rather than a heavy handed approach such as diving into the registry. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
