Hey guys.
Just recently ive connected my computer up to the internet via cable, to a router, which is obviously connected to a modem > internet.

Lately a ive been browsing, my internet connection decides to stop working with browsers and MSN yet Azureus keeps on downloading at a constant speed.
I open up mozilla and it says it cant connect, but i then open up azureus to find it downloading perfectly.
When i check my network settings, they tell me that im still connected to the internet (even though i cant access it).
Im running Vista x86

All I would suggest to do is to reinstall the drivers for your network card.

If that doesn't work, then Winsocks may be goofing up.
