Hi. I hope someone is able to cast some light on a problem. We have a
home network (all computers running XP) some wired and some wireless.
For about a month now we have intermittent connection problems in that
any one computer (randomly) will not connect to internet. I think all of
the computers have suffered from the problem. Rebooting the affected
computer makes no difference but rebooting the router can sort it until
the next time. Even my mobile phone occasionally cannot connect. In
Firefox the message is just "server not found". Pinging an IP address
results in a time out. The computer that is currently affected shows an
IP address of 192.168.1.68 and DNS servers of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. The
default gateway and DHCP server are shown as 192.168.1.254 (and subnet
mask as 255.255.255.0). My technical expertise extends to being able to
find the addresses and ping things! Any help would be
gratefully received.
