Not sure what is going on. And this happens in ALL my web browsers, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, IE etc... After a certain amount of time( couple hours to a couple days), the connection to any website starts showing a timeout error and I cannot connect unless I restart. I have tried ipconfig /release, /renew, and flushdns. I suspected a bad router( I have an Actiontec MW424 something or other revision I. I set my IP as a static IP as I had read that DHCP in Vista could have been the culprit. It still does it. I have tried several public DNS servers, and that is not it either. What is strange is when this happens, I can ping websites that I have up on my browser, Verizon e-mail, facebook, youtube, wikipedia, google, etc...I am still connected to the internet while this is going on. What fixes it temporarily is if I reboot my computer. This problem does not happen in safe-mode with networking as I was able to go a whole week without it happening.
Aside from completely re-installing Windows, what options do I have?
Before you say use the search button, I HAVE searched this and many other forums to no avail.
