I have a desktop and laptop computer. They are networked to a satellite 2-way system modem. The two machines communicate through an access point.
This problem is recurring at random times.
I cold boot my computer and am connected to the internet.
I can ping my modem, access point, etc.
When I run ipconfig /all, I see that all the IP data is correct.
Then, sometime later, when I try to reach an internet website, I get the "page cannot be displayed" message.
I then right-click on the networking icon in my system tray --> repair.
The machine goes through the repair process and then I am back online.
My laptop is connected to my modem via the access point, and it is working fine all the time, so that tells me that the access point is doing its job, as is the modem.
I am wondering what it is that is causing my computer to lose connectivity.
