Possible Virus or Router problem??

[vchiu81]

I'm not sure exactly what is causing the problem, but I was thinking that it could be a virus. After I step away from my computer and it goes on stand by when I return it will no longer have any internet connection and when I try to send email it will say "server not responding". In order to get my connection back I need to restart the computer and boot it up again and then it works fine until it goes back to stand by. Is this a virus or just something wrong with my router or ISP?

search for MSBLAST.exe in your system32 directory

have you scanned the machine with your installed AntiVirus detection software?

"After I step away from my computer and it goes on stand by..."

next time it happens, open a dos command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" - post the results here (or in the TCP/IP forum: forum581).

It could be a networking issue; ipconfig will list the current networking setup.

also, try and ping the router's IP address.
