strange connection problem

[Lai Zit Seng]

During those moments when you can't connect, can you check what your 
'ifconfig' and 'netstat -rn' says? Do you still have IP and correct 
default route?

Can you ping your default gateway (by its IP address)? If you can, can you 
then ping something further away that you know ordinarily should be up and 
reachable?

That should help narrow down the problem a little :P
