DNS unable to resolve ip address....

[TurcoLoco]

hmm i still keep experiencing random disconnections. the internet light on my router goes off. only thing i can think of now is that i might need a new router...unless any of you guys know anything else to try.??

I am assuming that you have either a DSL or Cable service, meaning you have a highspeed modem which connects to a router?

For troubleshooting purposes, skip the router and connect it directly to the system that you are experiecing disconnections on. Then see if the problems still occur. If Yes, the problem is likely to be with your highspeed modem and/or your ISP (have your ISP check the signal from their servers to your modem to confirm that it is not an issue they need to fix at their end).

If the problem doesn't occur when you bypass the router then....kinda obvious at that point as to what the culprit is...

PS. If you have messed around with the router settings, I suggest you reset your router first to see if that helped. Also, if it had been more than 6 months since you last checked for a firmware update for the router, I'd say look into that as well.
