Here is the problem with system restore.... what if it restores to a point to before he wants?? Then it takes away from other things and creates more problems. You can never tell when his computer created that restore point or if a restore point was made after the problem was occured and still won't fix it.
Nothing wrong with troubleshooting things.... you got to break things before you fix them... spend money to make money... you know all those over used phases....
If his setup is fine which by the way if I call my cable company and they treat me like an idiot. I will go down there and bash their head against the table for reading off a computer screen.
Probaby something that was installed with windows update...that usually stays on all the time and updates on its own.. I would definitly check that first. Sometimes check his cable modem to see if it had been updated or any other hardware had been recently updated first...
If he has a firewall, that is always doing daily updates and pushes... may have changed some settings...
Do you have dynamic ips or static ips on your network? I would definitly change over to static that way we can ping the computers to make sure those work and then we can finally work on the router... we have to do process of elimination.
