Network

Friends:
I have two computers in network with a Linksys router, it works ok for couple days but then I can not get into the web and I get a notice stating, that the address could not be found.
Any help appreciated.

Mine does that too but all I do is reconnet without a prob.

Yura,

You're not providing a lot of detail here.

What do you do to recover? Restart workstation? Restart router? Power restart
router?

Are both computers affected at the same time?

Is this a wired or wireless connection? Broadband or dialup? How about router
model?

Actually, there is a known exploit (LAN vulnerability to hostile website code)
that can cause some Linksys routers to lockup.

have stated very loudly that you had to factory reset your router, if that was
the case.

But please, if this is even a possibility, change your LAN settings.

It could be heat related too. As a fellow Linky owner, I know that some BEFSR41
power supplies overheat, and would give you no traffic condition. That would
require me to unplug the power supply, and put it in the refrigerator (really)
for a few minutes. Linksys finally sent me a second power supply. Go here
<http://www.linksys.com/support/customerService.asp>, and search for "defective
power supply" if that sounds like your problem. It's summertime, so, unless
you're in Australia or elsewhere in the southern hemisphere, that could be it.

Or it could be your dns setup.

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name and version) with each ipconfig listing.

Cheers,
Chuck
