I've been having issues recently with my internal network, and I'll attempt to give as much information as possible. The issue is my internet connection (roughly); I continue to lose the ability to load webpages, but its seemingly random, as the connection will come back with time. I'm using windows XP currently, and the adapter says connected, although sometimes pages online will not load. The strange thing is, I have another computer connected to the same switch (connected to the same router), and the other computer works just fine. Which would normally lead me to believe that it is the computer that is to blame, but I have another computer running linux that is connected directly to the router that seems to work intermittently, but has issues (seemingly) at the same time as my XP machine. Now it could just be coincidental, but I can't seem to come to any specific conclusion as to why it is occurring. Another strange issue is when I try doing the repair connection on the XP machine it fails at clearing the DNS cache. This made me try using IP addresses instead of domain names, which did not work either. I simply cannot figure out what is causing this.
