I am at work but will run tonight and post later, hopefully this will give some insight, as it is still an issue.
Also, if anyone can let me know how to get the router stats off my router, can't see an option for the type of detail people tend to post on here, its the TG582.
I also have a linux laptop that sees to be less effected? I have noted occasions yesterday where two windows 8 machines having difficulty 't connecting to sites (gain, mainly streaming but on occasion others too) and yet the Linux one did and was fine, with router "test internet" showing green ticks??? Maybe not related, but just some info.
Anyone know of any windows updates that could have done anything to network settings at all,?? Clutching at straws at the mo
?

I don't know Chrome. In Internet Explorer, check the connection settings .. Tools / Internet Options / Connections / LAN Settings. I have seen performance and reachability issues if "Auto" is ticked, meaning that IE tries to find a proxy server. Assuming normal LAN or wireless connection, nothing should be ticked on that page.

Tried resetting winsock and dns via command prompt and ipconfig seems to address the issue and get google etc back up, but not sure if this is a permanent fix?
Throughout xubuntu laptop has remained okay?

as I'm a novice does the DNS flush and renew not hold and does plusnet DNS override after a bit, hence the okay status after dns flush, then loss of connection again after a while?
I have reset dns again and all fine, but for how long???
Help!

Historical threads on the issue, any investigation of the issue doesn't appear to have resulted in anything:
https://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,116178.0.html
https://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,124871.0.html
https://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,134916.0.html
Simplest workaround:
Manually specify some DNS servers on your computer. You could use the Plusnet DNS servers (212.159.6.9 and 212.159.6.10), Google DNS, OpenDNS or any other public DNS service you like.
More complicated workaround:
Re-configure the router to assign DNS servers to devices differently - Method 2 from http://npr.me.uk/changedns.html

I will look at manually sorting the DNS first, do you have a description as to how I add them?
Also anyone used OpenDNS, thoughts ?
Also, quick question, would replacing the plusnet router with a better model ( suggestions please!) resolve the issue?
Cheers Again

Quote from: RichardA Also anyone used OpenDNS, thoughts ?
I've used OpenDNS for several years. Worth a try. On the PC in the network properties, there's an option to manually set DNS servers, or "Obtain DNS server address automatically". Exactly how you get there depends on version.
Window 7 it's "Control Panel" / "Network and Sharing Centre" / "Change adapter settings" / (pick your network adapter, right click, "Properties", select "Internet Protocol Version 4", then "Properties".
However, this is a problem that affects the PC only? That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, if there was a problem with your connection accessing Plusnet's DNS servers then it would affect Linux as well (assuming same DHCP on Linux of course).

One of the previous threads has the telnet commands to disable the "WAN Down Spoofing"
:dns server config WANDownSpoofing=disabled
:saveall

Yes, it's quite strange, in some of the previous threads, only one computer experiences the issue, in others it was all devices.

Firstly thank you for all the replies.
To try to clarify things a little (as most of my previous posts have been written on the fly whilst trying to understand the issues myself and whilst having 3+ machines on the go at once!)..
The issue of sites not loading etc, has been effecting two windows 8 machines. I had one occasion where the Xubuntu machine "seemed" to have the same difficulty loading pages ( maybe a separate issue?), but since then the issue has only effected the windows machines. The xbox and now tv boxes seemed to continue to work, although I have not actively tested this ,as have been spending most time looking at computer screens :), so they may have dropped out and later come back on?
The DNS flush on both windows 8 machines last night worked as a temporary fix but then reverted back to not being able to connect after a period of time, a second refresh again produced a stable connection for a period. During last nigh the linux machine seemed unaffected?
I know it all sounds very odd, but I will next manually add the Open DNS settings to both machines and see what that does. I will not fiddle with the router until I have tried the computer fixes first.
As ever, any thoughts and suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers

Quick (and a bit late) update...
I changed the plusnet DNS to OpenDNS on each windows machine and..hey presto... no problems since!
Not sure why this is, perhaps someone would like to hazard a guess?
Anyway, for now, all is good
