From: woof! on 1 Mar 2007 14:21 I have a netgear wireless router serving both a desktop PC and a notebook. The notebook seems to always work fine but the desktop has intermittent trouble with its internet connection. The computer always shows an excellent connection to the router. The router (with inbuilt modem) always shows a connection to the internet The desktop connects to the internet and then intermittently the computer can not find the internet - any ideas why?? Its corrected by turning the computer off and back on. Windows firewall is disabled. McAfee firewall on but doesn't seem to interfere Installed netgear software on both notebook and desktop. Don't know how to correct this daily disruption - help please!
