I am sitting at my PC, browsing. My Squeezebox Touch is playing "Beyond the Beat Generation" via mysqueezebox.com, and I am uploading a largish sound file to Mediafire.
Suddenly my browser is unable to fetch a website, but the Touch keeps playing and the file keeps uploading. I open a command window ( I have learned something from the help guys). I ping 8.8.8.8 (whatever that is and I lose no packets. I ping bbc.co.uk and the host cannot be found, (but the Touch keeps playing and the file keeps uploading.)
I login to my router (Technicolour TG582n) which tells me I am connected. I manually disconnect, then re-connect, and I am suddenly able to fetch the website I wanted.
The Squeezebox doesn't have to be playing and I don't have to be uploading files, I just mention those things because it seems they show I can be connected and disconnected at the same time.
This is happening at least once a day. Has anyone any ideas on what's wrong and what's to be done?
(p.s. I have done all the tests involving connecting the router to the test socket, and connecting a laptop by LAN cable. There's nothing amiss with my domestic wiring.)

Also check Which Gateway am I on when you have the problem and after you've Gateway hopped (Disconnect/Connect) check it again. Make a note each time to see if there is a pattern. Also make a note of your IP address before and after, again looking for patterns. If you need to post any information with that, replace the last 2/3 digits of the address with xxx.

But copy and paste the lot as follows, it's tricky until you've got the knack!
In the CMD window Right Click - Select All will include stuff that's scrolled off the top of the window, select Mark if you only want some. Now don't click anything else until you got the cursor at the extreme LHS of any area that you want to copy. Then left click and hold it down and drag the cursor to the extreme RHS bottom of the area to be copied. Release the LH button when you have the correct area highlighted.
Whether you used Select All or Mark to highlight, now just do a single right click - you won't see anything this time but note how the title of the CMD window changes during the whole process. Again don't click anything again until you are in the post window, then Right Click and select Paste.
HTH.

If you get a "needs elevation" message you have to run it as admin. I'm on w7 64 bit so can't speak for 32 bit.

However I still can't see how to do that.
Right clicking the command window's logo doesn't provide the option.
Can you tell me what is the purpose of your suggestion?

netsh winsock reset catalog resolves any socket errors you might have.
If you go to start and type in cmd in the search bar , right click on it and the second option down should be Run as administrator. If that's not there I've no idea how you'd do it.
