Router and IE problem

hi there,
my comp at work is connected to a router.
it has a hard time with IE though, it says it is connected to the internet but after about 20 mins on internet explorer it stops repsonding (can't find page....etc)
yet i can be downloading from another site and that isnt afeected

i'm assuming this is an interent explorere problem.

any suggestions?

go to www.getfirefox.com and install Firefox.

In future, only use IE for updating Windoze.

RBS, that was of absolutely no help at all in resolving his current issue. Installing Firefox or some other alternative browser is not always a solution. Some people cannot change browser due to company policy, or for whatever reason. While you might think you are providing some public service, it does absolutely no good to simply refer someone to another browser without also trying to fix the current problem.

I did not intend this as a flame, just getting a bit tired of seeing every IE, outlook, etc problem end up with only one or two replies saying to switch to another app rather than try to resolve the actual issue.

i think you for your help and suggestion of firefox, but that solution was already attempted and although firefox works more times than IE does it will always do the same thing IE does shut down.

Stormbringer, my humble apologies, I was just following the current trend.

Canadaguy, does your company monitor your web-access, i.e. would they put a limit on your browsing-"allowance" (Big Brother)? This limit would not interrupt a download, as that is a different activity from browsing.

Another likely candidate would be a full Temp. Internet Files directory.
In IE, click on Tools/Internet Options, and in the middle, click on "delete files", tick the "delete offline content", click OK. Then also "delete cookies".
See how that works out.

 

[canadaguy]

there isn't any "big brother " programs on my comp, becuas it is a small store and the owner is as dumbfounded as i am about it lol

i will get back with you on the make of router and all info.

Perhaps this helps:

A few basic setups when networking:

Router-setup WAN:
Protocol: Fixed IP
IP-address, Subnetmask and default Gateway: as per ISP-information
DNS-servers: as per ISP-information
Enable NAT

Router-setup LAN:
IP-address: set to e.g. 192.168.1.254 (or use default)
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP-server: disable

Router: Some System-settings (depending on your router)
Optional SNTP (time): e.g. 194.35.252.7 for UK/Ireland (GMT)
uPnP: disable
Dynamic routing: disable
Remote config: disable
Dynamic DNS: disable
Firewall: Block hacker attack: enable
Firewall: Block WAN request: enable
VPN: disable all settings unless you need it

PC-Settings
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Use the following IP address: 192.168.1.101 (102, 103 etc.)
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254 (IP-address from your Router)
Use DNS Server address: 192.168.1.254 (IP-address from your Router)
Second DNS: leave blank or put in first DNS-server from WAN-part in Router

Enable File/Printer sharing if you wish (works only within local network)
Check individual printer(s) that they are shared as well (in printer-settings)

And make sure all your PCs are in the same WORKGROUP.

If software firewall installed, enable the other PCs IP-address(es)
