Linksys router firmware is defective by design. It keeps track of connections for 5 days and a maximum of 2048 connections, and everything you do on the interweb the connections stay open and add up and when you reach 2048 it will go dead, it should only be tracking connections for at most 2 minutes. There are many third-party firmwares that allow to adjust those values and avoid that problem (WRT54GL was designed to support third-party firmware).

But unless I'm wrong, you say internet on one computer goes dead, but if you reboot it or hop on another, it continues to work?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22659368 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 01:18:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22645857 Irish Shark : Anything in the system logs?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22645857 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:48:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22644836 Irish Shark : We don't know that the flushdns did the trick.

I bet it was the release and renew.

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

That fixed it. So why isn't the OS taking care of the DNS resolver cache?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22642061 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:54:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628841 Rebellious : BTW, I always suspect firewalls blocking access, I have NVIDIA Firewall but I checked its log and it doesn't appear to be at fault.

The machine suspends/resumes just fine, but Internet access goes dead, no data coming through, no pages loading in browser. The only reason I mentioned suspend was to indicate that the machine is always on with an average uptime of 2 weeks before the problem occurs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628755 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:11:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628597 Irish Shark : In the BIOS is it set to S3?

Try S1 or S1/S3.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628597 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:41:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628360 Rebellious : It hibernates fine, but it is set to always Suspend S3. Remote wake up works too, via magic packet. Remote suspend also works fine with Sysinternals utility.

I hope that answers your question. Suspend fails occasionally going in, but surprisingly Win2000 is more stable than XP.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628360 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:02:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22628145 Irish Shark : Is the box going into hibernation and not waking up?

Check the NIC properties to see if it is set to hybernate.

After a couple of weeks, my Internet data stream just stops, pages don't load, can't fetch email. I'm connected but no data coming through, Windows' Event Viewer doesn't report anything unusual. A reboot fixes the problem. What's causing that?

I'm using Windows 2000 and XP, a Netopia DSL modem 2241N-VGx and a Linksys WRT54GL router. ISP is AT&T Southeast, download speed is good.

I'm posting here because, if I log into the other machine on the network it connects fine, i.e. the Internet hardware is working, so I'm guessing that more likely it has to do with the OS.
