Internet Connectivitty Issue - Router

[benditlikebecker13]

So I am using Hardy for the second time around andhaving an really annoying problem with my internet connection. My connection goes down every 10 minutes and the only way to get it back is to reset the router. The really bizarre thing is that I can't get anywhere in Firefox when this happens, but my Bittorrent client will work just fine. I don't know what else to say, but I will give some info. Here is what I get from ifconfig:


eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:2f:34:11:9f
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I'm not sure what else you need. Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Some other useful info. I have a Netgear router, I connect with a hard wire (RJ45 from router to CPU) and when I am logged into Ubuntu my PS3 will not go online and gives me a DNS error.

2nd Edit: It's not the IPv6 issue I have read in other threads. I went to the following link and got the output I should've.

if your torrents still work then its nothing to do with your router, its something to do with firefox. when the connection goes down again, open a terminal (before doing anything to the router) and type

ping www.google.ca and post back what happens
