That's what has caught me up too. It's once in a while.. not all the
time, and not always one particular site. When it happens, it's all
websites...


The plot thickens. I'm beginning to wonder if it's actually my ISP
after all. I just had another outage where I was not able to load any
websites, but other web services continued to work as normal. During
that "outage" I attempted to connect to my Netgear router using the
usual 192.168.1.1 IP address... nothing. no connect until web access
(being able to connect to websites) returned. Then i was able to log
into and browse my router config.

So... nothing has changed in my router config prior to this problem
appearing. It's the same config I've used for the last 2 years. On
the PC side, I've recently added a new hard drive and done a clean
install of 11.1 using the defaults... clean /home as well.

It's looking likely that the problem is inside the local network (all
of 2 computers)... but where to look next? Hmmm this is an odd
problem.

Hmmm, sounds like the hard-slog route to solve.... NIC sitting firmly in
the sockets, cables OK, is it the router (direcxt connect to the modem),
is it the modem...? Good luck :-) .
