Re: Router and Internet problem
Like I was saying, I would try leaving it unplugged for a while. Routers/modems often have batteries in them that last a long time and if it's not completely dead, it may not have really been reset.
Re: Router and Internet problem
SandvichSpy, your router and modem are fine if your able to play online, try resetting all your browser defaults through tools/options. Also uninstall any 3rd party tool bars and other crap that you may have installed.

Try and connect to a website with the IP address, I wonder if you have a DNS problem.
Re: Router and Internet problem
Good deal.
EDIT: if you have problems with that DNS I use Open DNS server.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Its Open DNS for anyone to use. My ISP's DNS is always down so I just setup my DNS manually with that. I have used it for years and is pretty fast.
Basically if you didn't know DNS stands for Domain Name Server it translates and IP address into a name.

Re: Router and Internet problem
Well I was going to say DNS, but Mullet beat me too it. I've been having this periodically at my place lately, the DNS will go down for an hour or two in the evenings sometimes. Comcast fail.
