OK here goes, been troubleshooting this for weeks now and still no
closer to root cause other than i know its something linked to Vista
I have Vista ultimate running on my pc, the network its on comprises
machines with a range of Os'es on including Linux, SBS, Windows XP and a
laptop running Vista ultimate and on network via WLAN, remainder are
standard wired lan connections
This PC used to have windows XP Pro on and worked 100%, i wiped it and
installed Vista and that's where the problems started.
I get intermittent complete loss of internet connectivity and the only
way to restore it quickly is to reboot the pc which is frustrating as it
can happen a couple of times a day and i use this PC for business use
and it will have around 15-20 windows open at any one time browsing,
email etc etc
The symptoms are as follows:
using internet normally and then suddenly refresh browser / go to new
page / open a fresh browser and get the standard IE browser error
message as follows:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems
More information
I cannot even access anything running on port 80 on my own internal
network either. Its like something has just suddenly killed port 80
