Hi Guys

Im desperate. I have a billion bipac 5100 4 port router modem which i connect to the internet. Had no troubles until recently out of the blue. Now 80% of the time wheni turn the modem on and try to connect i open IE and i get th emessage in the left bottom bar saying connecting to (the sites ip address). At the same time my skype is connected and i can update AVG virus etc and i can ping websites from the cmd window. The IE window just sits there trying to connect for ages and nothng happens. If i log off and log back on again without touching the modem then normally it will connect to a web page no problems. I am at a lost it seems so random andim not sure what to check.

Anyhelp would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Chris
