SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a recurring issue where a computer fails to connect to the internet at the start of each month, despite being connected via a wireless LAN. The user has ruled out hardware issues and virus infections, suggesting that the problem may lie in the computer's settings or the Internet Service Provider's (ISP) configurations. The user speculates that the ISP may implement monthly settings that disrupt connectivity. Restoring the computer previously resolved the issue, but this time it has not.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wireless LAN configurations
  • Familiarity with computer restoration processes
  • Knowledge of ISP settings and their impact on connectivity
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for network issues
NEXT STEPS
  • Investigate wireless LAN settings and configurations on the computer
  • Research common ISP settings that may affect monthly connectivity
  • Learn about network diagnostics tools to analyze connection issues
  • Explore options for setting static IP addresses to prevent connectivity disruptions
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for IT support professionals, network administrators, and home users experiencing similar connectivity issues, particularly those with monthly ISP plans.

My computer is connected to the Net through wireless LAN network.
It(my computer) fails to connect to the Net at the beginning of each month,
after I restored my computer a few days backwards, the problem was solved.
But this time I can't solve by restoring, my computer can continually connect to the Net though, but most of the time it fails. NB other computers in the network can function well, and the transmit signal to my computer is fairly good.
What's the problem with my computer?
It must not be the problem of hardware, otherwise it couldn't be solved by restoring.
Virus scanning also shows that there is no virus on my harddisk...
I wonder if it is the setting of my comp. changes every beginning of the month, if it is so, how can I stop it?

Is it a problem of your computer or your ISP? Assuming that you have a monthly paid connection, there are chances that your ISP has some setting on their server that hampers your connection. I deduce this from the fact that the problem comes at the beginning of every month. Viruses will generally not work with such a good periodicity - they tend to be random.
