One suggestion is to hard code with static IP and DNS servers instead of relying on DHCP.
Whenever I have problems connecting to the net, I do check my IP address - if it's 169 etc I do release and renew it. With a 169 number I cannot access anything at all - and as I said when the browser goes down I can still chat on msn messenger and get the mail in and send it out.
Thanks so much for this help Chanto
