Every so often I log on to find that although my D-Link router is
connected, (or appears so from the little icon in the toolbar), I simply
cannot get on to the net and consequently of course cannot receive my
emails. I know its not my email programme which is Turnpike nor is it
MailWasher because when I try to log on to Google from the desktop I am
also denied access. To put it simply, I am blocked from getting on the
net. I have had a technical check-up with my IT company who managed to
"cure it" but are unable to tell me how they did it. Of course it has
recurred several times since and caused me a lot of trouble and grief.
One piece of information I can give to help with a solution is that I
have a definite and guaranteed method of coming out of it, I simply pull
out all the plugs in the wall, (i.e. switch off), all the current to
"everything" and hey presto, when I plug in everything and restart my PC
all is well. Re-booting my PC alone will not cure it, I have to turn off
the current, leave it a few seconds and turn on again.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to stop it happening?
A few details, I use XP Home edition with Service Pack 2 installed and a
Pentium 4 (2002) with 512 RAM. Any further details you need I will
supply. I regularly run SpyBot, Lavasoft Ad-Aware and have AVG Free
edition Anti-Virus etc. I use Disk Keeper and carry out all sorts of
maintenance checks regularly. I would be so grateful for a solution to
this tiresome problem, thank you.
