And a wierd router problem

[xoggoth]

The net is fairly crud round here. At peak times, especially about 4pm-5pm weekends, we get a lot of page not found errors. A bit later it is all working fine again.

Sometimes in those periods we find the router has reset, or our PCs can't see it anyway. I can't see how a hardware fault can occur at regular weekly times. It sounds crazy but is there any way anything happening on the line can reset a router. Space aliens perhaps?

Cheers for any ideas.

zog, why are you putting this stuff in accounting/legal? i think it's more than your line which is having a 'moment'?

I have a BTHomehub router at home which does the same thing. I ring BT and they say there is nothing wrong, then the fault goes away for a few days...

Lying barstewards....

Yeh, wrong forum, sorry. Ta for comments so far and tolerance of advanced senility.

Hmmm... wouldn't be the time a cleaner comes in would it?

To chop down your router? Or does it have Dutch Elm disease?

maybe it doesn't like the duplicate emails that keep coming through so shuts itself down?

Blame the Americans.
