I have 2 PC's - one is downstairs, running ADSL 24/7. My upstairs PC is connected to this via Ethernet - this arrangement works very well most of the time. Both machines are running windows XP, the downstairs machine is the internet gateway.
My problem is that every so often, my PC decides that it is no longer connected to the internet. It tries to connect to the Internet using a modem, which I obviously don't want to do. After a little while, it lets me connect to the Net via ADSL once again.
This is hugely frustrating when I am playing games online - my connection appears to hang up completely until I return to windows and click on a few hyperlinks.
I realise there could be hundreds of possible reasons why this is happening, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm with BT Openworld in the UK if that helps at all.
