Browser cannot find any server anymore after 5 minutes of normal activity (" The page cannot be disp

After some 5 minutes of normal activity my browser stops opening pages and
returns with the error "page cannot be displayed". Other errors are "cannot
find server" and "connection timed out".

The PC is a client in a NAT-network (Winroute) and has functioned perfectly for
more than a year. AFAIK I did not change any network or browser settings.

Can anybody shed some light onto his sudden strange behaviour?

BTW: other network activity is still functioning, Agent (usenet reader) and
mail is functioning ok.


Can the cause be something in DNS settings in Winroute?
(which I did not change)

 

came up with this:

Clear the internet cache on the machine might help.

Crystal ball at cleaners. Can't tell what browser in use.

IE v6.0.2800, completely updated.

Just found out I can't reach the server anymore with pcAnywhere.

Maybe this is also a result of what seems to happen on the network after 5
minutes (http not possible anymore, mail and usenet still functioning).

Have you tried powering everything off, and then rebooting the computer?


How about a DHCP client Release and Renew?
Checked the settings in http://192.168.0.1 ?


Try a "Release All" and "Renew All" using:
Windows98: Run "Winipcfg.exe".
Windows NT, 2000, XP: Open a command prompt, type: ipconfig

Microsoft's IPConfig Utility for Windows 2k, NT, XP "Wntipcfg.exe"
It's exactly like the "Winipcfg.exe" in Windows98
