As far as I know the modem stays up continuously. I cannot swear to it though. > That would mean your nameserver is somehow not entertaining your > computer's request during that period. > > BTW, what if you gave your computer a static address. Does that help? Do you mean a static address from the router, i.e. 192.168.15.100? That does actually seem constant as I always get that address everytime I boot. Or do you mean the address from the modem? I can't say I would know how to do either. I can mention though that so far today I have had no problem. I am now wondering if the last upgrade helped, or if perhaps one of the previous moves has actually done something. I have switched off my firewall and that may have helped in someway. I can't be sure, but I am still watching and waiting for opportunities to test more things during a down period.
