Could be DNS issue. Try switching to Google DNS (8.8.8.8).

changed the DNS , now need to wait

if you are on BSNL, they could very well be the reason for the problems.

Wait for what? You don't need to wait for anything after changing your DNS.

i think full bandwidth is used for torrents and downloader, just stop those apps and try again..

wait for the issue to come up again

after chaning the DNS too , this issue happened 10 mins back , restarted and writing this post
firefox kinda gets stunted , i dont get any error while trying to open a page , its just nothing happens when i click a link
restarting firefox too didnt help , and JD was giving disconnection error but utorrent was still downloading

Well, there have been moments when only Google services worked. I had to use VPN to access the forum!

When that happens, try going to network, and disable and enable the network connection.

connection comes back again and only utorrent picks it up
firefox and JD doesnt sense the network
firefox does nothing more or less like freezed state , only chrome gives connection error
this happens randomly over a period of time or once in 2-4 hours

seems like the problem is either with JD or java
re installed java
after re installing JD , having troubles using it
figuring it out :question:

really doubt it's Jave many ppl turn off java in their browwers , security wise it is a wise thing to do also .
could be 2 or 3 things , unistall your a/v or and firewall, AND if any chance if you have malwarebytes installed check into options -settings it does block internet sometimes via ip blocking, but before doing any of that reset you tcp ip winsock, does no harm , but fixes a lot problems.

Check ping from dos. If you get reply from ping, means you have problem with winsock(Windows Sockets API). That will be solved by resetting it as guided by dovahkiin.
Also reset winsock.

Check tracert and also proxy setting in each browser.
If you have router and ISP modem, check DNS setting in it also and change to OpenDNS or Google DNS if it is not changed.
trace route will give you better idea.
uTorrent gets consistent bandwidth or frequent disconnection. ????? You are connected via LAN or WLAN.?????
Keep ping window of default gateway of wireless router open to check frequent disconnection problem.

Pick any IP and port from http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/. and enter them in address bar as per below format.
http://ip😛ort
replace IP port from list of hidemyass.
Check whether it opens any server page like Apache or squid.
It will help you in finding different working ports if any.

As you are complaining about disconnection after disabling and re-enabling network adapter, internet goes down after 10 mins. Can you check DNS setting at that time by entering ipconfig/all in dos.
