Hopefully I won't be cut off before I have the opportunity to send this
message. Here goes.
My router a Linksys WAG54G ADSL Gateway has recently been playing up.
The problem is at random intervals I lose connection to browser (
Connection refused error message from Firefox) and newsgroups.
This happens to both PCs which are sharing the internet connection.
The strange thing is that the connection is still active on both as I
can ping the router, send/recieve e-mails and P2P software
downloads/uploads fine.
I've tried updating the firmware, but all this has done is made the
'connection' loss more frequent.
To rectify the problem, I have to unplug the Router and plug it back in
and wait for the connection to restart and hey presto both PCs are able
to browse the internet again and check newsgroups untill the next loss
in 'connection'.
I've check with my ISP newsgroup to see if there was any outage. No
apparent problems. Also it wouldn't explain why after unplug/plugging
,the router is 'fixed' for a while.
Please help.
Note: When sending this message I recieved a 'newsgroup server not
reachable' message. I had to unplug/plug router to send this message.
This does not make sense!
Thank you
