    Hello everyone, I have a little problem. My whole internet will be working fine but about 1-3 times a day my connection will go off for about 2-10 minutes each time. According to MSN troubleshooter, it's a dns and keyports problem, sometimes I have to use the MSN troubleshooter to fix my connection. Please off any bit of advice as i'm willing to try anything.

    Thanks in advance, Ellis

    Hi there try running this http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html when you run ccleaner it will clear out all cookies from your browsers cache, you could also try flushing your dns cache follow the instructions given :

    In Microsoft Windows, you can use the command ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache:


    Open your Command prompt and type into it :

    ipconfig /flushdns
    Then press enter
    Windows IP Configuration
    Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.



    You can also use the command ipconfig /displaydns to view the DNS resolver cache.


    RJ ! ;)

    Have you been in touch with your ISP and told them about the problem, It may be a problem at their end, get in touch with them then let us know what they have to say first ! Then i'll try other some options with you !

    Hey, I think I have fixed the problem now! I researched my router model number and loads of people were having the same problems, it was a regular that the router would overheat. I have borrowed my uncles spare router and it's been excellent and working perfectly for about 12 hours now and not 1 disconnection yet. Fingers crossed!
