SERIOUS REPLY: The problems you describe could be related to your computer, not your ISP. TCP/IP protocol, Browser etc. can get buggy. Unless you have two computers connected via same router/modem set up experiencing same non connectivity, it is difficult to differentiate.
NON SERIOUS REPLY:
Admittedly I'm no computer expert but here is an option worth a try. On a windows machine:
Go to RUN and type CMD, hit Enter.
You should be presented with a prompt of: C:Windows>
At the prompt, type CD. If that doesn’t work, type CD.
You will now see a C:>.
Type format c: /s and then hit Enter.
Ignore any warning prompts and reply YES to all.
That should do it, be sure to report back when done.
ETA: The above was satire. Driver on a closed course. Do not attempt at home.edit on 21-3-2011 by kinda kurious because: Appease non-technical OP
