AI Thread Summary
The computer experiences connectivity issues at the beginning of each month, despite being connected to a wireless LAN and having a good signal. Restoring the computer previously resolved the issue, but this time it persists even after restoration. Other devices on the network function properly, indicating that the problem is likely not hardware-related. Virus scans show no infections, leading to speculation that the issue may be linked to settings that change monthly. There is also a possibility that the Internet Service Provider (ISP) may have server settings affecting the connection, particularly since the problem consistently occurs at the start of each month.

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.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
