hi raptorz
is this wired or wireless connection and what is your computer connected to, computer to modem, computer to router to modem? if router what's the manufacturer/model?

Its a plain old wired connection ,computer to modem type ,cable broadband ,Thanks for your reply Surfer!!!

you're welcome raptorz
sounds like either the network cable (compuer to modem) or the network card are causing the problem.

next time you start the computer and you can't connect call your ISP (before you reboot) and they can check your modem. if the modem is good change the cable and if cable is good try another network card.
