Internet Waking up or something :(

[Jop]

Hope someone can answer this Q, it's kinda tricky mates, be warned.

Sometimes when I'm on the Internet surfing (I have cable, ok could be worse, 1.5 MB Download stream ), but sometimes it just pauses or somethin' when surfing Servers couldn't be found (like a thread on this forum, so I know they exist), ICQ get's no messages and stuff, the internet is gone. But when I do Start, Run, "Winipcfg", en click Refresh (or renew or something) the internet connection wakes up again.

Does anyone how I can make something similar just to wake up the internet (by Refreshing/renewing the Ethernet Card or something)

Thanx for your attention.

This isn't much help but I had the same thing on windows98se
I downloaded a patch from Microsoft.com . The link I had was from my cable companies web page so I no longer have it , but you problem can be solved so I guess thats good news . Sorry I Didn't have the link .

Thanks for the reply...

I knew it's possible because I can do it by hand (by refreshing the Ethernet card or something in winipcfg
but I want to automate it.

I'll do a search on Microsoft.com, thanx.
Anyone else with solutions? thanx!

Did anyone ever find the automated answer? I have Verizon DSL and get the same thing once in a while (before WinIpCfg even says that the lease has expired).

If it matters, I'll need it for Win98 and WinME.
