I am hosting a VPN so some friends and I can play a game together. After a fresh PC restart and DSL router power-cycle, I can host the VPN with no issues and browse the internet at the same time with no issues. I can talk on Ventrilo also with no issues. However, after what seems to be a random length of time, an hour or more, I (the host) lose the ability to browse the internet. I receive a DNS lookup failed error. I cannot access my router with 192.168.1.254, which I am able to do after a clean reboot of PC and router. When the DNS fails to respond (I assume its my router in this situation), I can continue to play the game and host the VPN with no issues. I can even continue to talk on Ventrilo. However, if I disconnect from Ventrilo, I will be unable to reconnect.
This issue is extremely annoying because I am the game's host server. Besides the annoyance of having to reboot every hour or so, it means the game server must go down while I reboot. Additionally I like to browse the internet while I am playing this game.
DESPERATE PLEA OF HELP,
