Strange Network/Internet Problem

[mike9586]

I have a Vaio VGN-FZ11S laptop and have occasionally had a strange problem with the internet.

My laptop is connected to the internet usually through an ethernet cable and sometimes through WiFi but this problem can occur through either connection.

Occasionally my laptop just refuses to access a certain website, displaying the "Server Not Found" error, usually I fix this problem by turning the WiFi switch on and off but it happened last night and the only way I fixed the problem was by unplugging the ethernet cable and plugging it in again.

My internet is connected through a Netgear DG834G v2 router.

It doesn't happen that regularly but it is a strange problem when it does.

Any ideas or is it just a bug in Windows Vista?

Does this happen on other computers on the network?

It's most likely your netgear router need resetting. Turn off or unplug the power to the router wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power. Good routers have a reset button.
