our computer network at home runs the internet through one main computer and the others connect to it… however lately the internet keeps cutting out every 5 minutes or so and then takes 30 seconds to reload - as if it switches itself off and turns back on again… it’s really annoying trying to have convos on msn and just general usage… i have no idea what’s causing it… can anyone help? we normally leave the thing on 24/7 (unlimited downloads - why bother turning it off?)… but i turned it off one night recently and as soon as i turned it back on in the morning it did it again… thanks very much in advance… \_dale
