It seems like every time I shut down my PC I lose my interet connection. However, my network is still up and running.

After I lose it it usually takes a day of running the network setup wizard and screwing around with the settings to get it up again. And then when I do get it up I usualy have done nothing different than I had been doing for the past hour.

Oh and when it goes down, usually in "Network Connections" a title Internet Gateway has appeared with a connection under it.
Set up:

Cable Modem
Router
Switch

One time I noticed that the internet connection was working only after I uninstalled these "print server" drivers for the D-Link rouer. But I just tried that now and it didn't work.

Oh, now I remember what happaned.


-The network wasn't working so I uninstalled the drivers.
-After shutting down Internet Connection was up.
-Then everything was working fine but I couldn't connect to my printer.
-When I needed to connect yesterday I installed the drivers again.
-Since yesterday my internet connection and printing have been fine.
-Just today I had to restart my computer and when I dd the Internet Connection went down, as if the printing drivers actually kicked in or something, even though I was able to print beforehand.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem, is there any way I can completely clear my settings or something.
Thanks.
