[wdvltalk] OT net access
David, below is the diagnostic log - it has just happened again. I have sent the log by email out of the machine across the world and back to the other machine, which is on the same switch. The connection to the ISP itself is obviously working, but none of the browsers seem to hold their concentration!- Nor does IE diagnostic appear to know how OE does it...Don'cha just love M$.

However after a short time [hours to a day] it yawns and ignores all requests to access webpages, pretending a cable is unplugged, even while it merrily downloads, uploads and investigates mail. When it does this, can you still ping IPs, and resolve hostnames? If you can ping IPs but not hostnames, then you have some kind of DNSproblems. When your browsers stop being able to access pages, what errors do they give you?

It looks a lot like DNS problems, as I originally suspected. OE can still work as it's already resolved the hostname of your ISP's mail server, so it knows the IP already, and doesn't have to re-query the DNS server. It would appear that you have the DNS server configured to be 192.168.1.1, which will be your gateway (the ADSL router) - that's probably configured for you by DHCP. It might be worth forcing the DNS servers on the machine in question to use specific ones, perhaps the OpenDNS (www.opendns.org) servers. Out of interest, do other machines on your network use the gateway as a DNS server too? Do they exhibit the same problems at the same time, or do they continue to be able to resolve names? There's nice instructions at https://www.opendns.com/start to change the DNS settings.

The browsers seemed to have the problem even if they had been repeatedly accessing a particular site! Ah... I'll never understand this. I should write more poetry.
