every once in a while my internet connection stops working halfway. there are a bunch of sites that won't load (e.g. google.com, av.com - this site always works), and I won't be able to sign onto msn. is there any reason why this would happen?

On a more serious note, Ive got the same problem as well...using Win XP on a D-link DI-604 wired router. Anyone with a technical explanation?

At work no addresses would resolve so I called up Comcast to verify that the problem was on their end and the tech said that something was going on with the backbone.

they're all working now.

calboy98: my dsl modem plugs directly into my lan card. I think that means... no router, right?
