Hello, thanks very much for the replies. I tried powercycling but it won't work. I turn off my computer and modem and turn the modem on. I wait a few seconds for it to have a connection to the ISP and it connects. Once i turn my computer on and log onto my username i try to go to a website and the connection to the ISP suddenly cuts out. I then start all over with the router back on and it works. Bleh totally flustered here i don't know whats going on.
