I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall everything a little while ago.
Dunno if it's coincidence or not but since then, I keep losing my internet connection.
If I've got multiple browser windows open, I'll suddenly get the "cannot connect to server/timed out" message. If I close all the windows then immediately reopen one, it comes up no problem.
I normally use Firefox but it does it in IE as well.
If I'm using uTorrent, it doesn't appear to be affected by this at all (not that I know that much about uTorrent, but downloads will continue and ports are still open).
I've checked and reset all the router settings.
I've phone my ISP and spent over a tenner trying to break the language barrier with a guy that told me to switch it all off and back on again (like I hadn't already tried that) then hung up on me!
It's getting rather frustrating to say in the least.
Actually no, it's driving me mad.
Anybody got any ideas of what could be the problem?
