Whenever I visit s2ki or other certain websites my internet gets disconnected then come back after a minute or two. When i try to repair it says something about cannot connect to www.microsoft.com. Kinda sucks

desktop
vista ultimate 64
custom built

thanks in advance

Look in your system event log. Read the events that have Red X's, see if you find anything conclusive.

Open your windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with notepad, the only entry should be for 127.0.0.1

Try to manually browse to the microsoft.com/windowsupdate and see if that works. Try and run a windows defender scan. If you don't have windows defender, download and install it.

Also remove Firefox. It had more security vulnerabilities last year than IE8. Fail.

Vista requires you have at least half a brain to operate it. Sorry bro.

Another person just had issues like this. Change wireless channels.

I recently had router issues. My boss gave me a $25 coupon for Staples. They had the Cisco E2000 on sale for $80. Free shipping, a little tax, and I had a new Wireless N Gigabit router the next day for $59.
