Right now it has a red X over the 'local area connection' and says that the network cable in unplugged. While the wireless connection says it's good. So the internet is working, but last night it suddenly (I was on the PC, I closed firefox, and when I opened it back up, it had no connection) stopped working. I tried everything to get it working again today, wireless connection still good, just local connection not. Finally I just did a system restore to Christmas and that seemed to fix it, but I don't know what to do if it happens again

do you have a password on your wireless connection?

The reason im asking is because i got two pc's at my house, and one of them i use an usb to get the connection working. Everytime i turn the computer on with the usb, the connection is always disconnected and i always have to reconnect by scanning for the available wireless connections and connecting by entering the password

Err... yes I do have a password, but I do not speak computer fluently, and that whole paragraph I hardly understood.

that happens to me sometimes......all I do is disconnect then connect again and it's working again...but not sure if that will help you

It could be your Ethernet cable, or your phone line.

1. Do you use wireless or ethernet?

2. Do you have a firewall such as zone alarm

3. Are firefoxes updates automatic or have you udated to the most recent version recently?

4. Is the problem still persisntant? even though your on the ineternet :P

Oh and th 'password' is called either your WEP or WPA key and shoudl only ever really be needed to be enetred the once ever.

I have a similar issue
just every now and then Ive got to pull the power cord off the router and plug it back in
my router says everythings great
but sometimes I get disconnected anyway without anything happening hardware wise
im not worried about it just BSn

It just happen to me 25 mins ago, I just waited and unplugged the Ethernet line and plugged it backed in, waited a few seconds and it was working perfectly fine. I don't know it could just be your computer being a little bit lag.
