Before I am going to take this up with my ISP,
can I find a solution here?
My d@mn ISP always disconnects and reconnects my wireless adsl router internet
connection every now and then to discourage users from using their connections
as a server. If I leave my system on, the next morning I would need to reboot
since I cannot download my mailbox or access the Internet. This is been going on
since I sub to their adsl service. My laptop is within 1 metre of the wireless
route therefore I can rule out any interferences that disable my connection.
In a test, I download files via a ftp client and leave it on overnight. The
next morning, the ftp connection is still on, and I can access my mailbox and
use Outlook Express to download newsgroups. But I cannot use Internet Explorer
or any browser to access the Internet. The usual solution offerred by this d@mn
ISP is to shut the modem (which actually means rebooting my system), wait for 5
minutes before turning on the wireless router. I tried ipconfig /renew and still
I cannot access the Internet and the solution that I use is to reboot my system.
I have not tested shutting down the modem and switching it on, (but I may the
next time, I hate the repair feature for wireless network)
System is a laptop with a Centrino CPU using a Billion wirelss adsl router.
