I used to think it was the wireless modem I had.
Because, there would be times when I wouldn't be able to do any thing online, and the shortcut on my desktop would say I have an Excellent Connection.
Actually, what it meant was, I have a great connection to my wireless modem and the bars, in the Wireless Network Connection box, would be all full and green!
The wireless monitor program would say "You are connect to the modem, but not associated with Internet" or something like that.
It's happened to me so many times, I don't think you can avoid it.
It always comes back.
There's a good chance, it's not your computers.
Go Figure!
