Environment: Windows XP, DSL pppoe connection using XP
pppoe software rather than ISP software.
Problem: Connection works great for a few weeks then
suddenly stops working, page can't be displayed message.
Information: Pings and traceroutes work, can't browse by
IP address so hosts file is OK, ISP line test shows great
numbers, no spyware installed, NIC is good, even a system
restore will not fix problem. Why do so many XP computers
exhibit this behaviour?
