Hi All
I have this strange prob with my browsers (FF and IE).
I'll be on the web, buzzing around just fine. Then, I'll go out and make lunch or whatever and come back, but then the browser won't access any new web pages.
Instead, in the status bar it will say, "Looking up (whatever)...."
One thing that is weird is that if you have a tab open to a site already, that site specifically almost always still works.
It's just when you try to go out to a new site that the dang thing won't work.
I have to reboot the machine and then it all works fine again. My machine seems to be working fine otherwise (knock wood....), and this prob has existed for months.
I don't think it's a router prob (cable router) cuz a wireless puter gets through just fine (more testing being done at the moment)
Has anyone run into this where if your machine is idle for a while that it won't reach new URLs and you have to reboot to get it to work again?
Many thanks
