Hello again!!! and thank you for your reply.
Funny thing just happened. I unplugged the ethernet cord from my router and plugged the modem directly into the computer instead (like you suggested) to see if I was having the same problem. Well for one thing, I was not getting any connection when I did that, so I plugged my router back in and low and behold! So far, it looks like that problem may have disappeared! I am guessing it must have had something to do with the router? I don't know how it happened because I plugged the router back in again but now that problem looks like it is gone. So far?
What do you think happened?
