Friend of mine has hookd up to the internet. If he turns of his computer and then turns it on a day later the internet conenction is gone.

As of today i dont know whether he is using dial up or broadband.

So what could be the reasons for his problem?

Virus?
ISP problems?
Drivers?
Default connection not set up?

Any more reasons?

As i say i have little details of what setup he is actually using. Im just trying to get an idea of POSSIBLE causes.

Thanks GUYS! If it's dialup, then a connection has to be established each time the computer is turned on.

If it's broadband, while the computer is on try turning the modem off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Sometimes that actually works

You ask possible reasons:

Virus? It never hurts to run a scan; just make sure the signatures are up to date.

ISP problems? Call them! If the sun is in the seventh house and the Moon is aligned with Mars, they may actually help you!

Drivers? Unlikely since a connection can be made. If you have them install them.

Default connection not set up? Check and see.

Good luck. Thanks for the help sidewinder!
