One question, are you behind a router with many other computers???
Another thing that may help is changing the DNS settings to Google DNS.

[xmetallicaz]

yes a linksys router... my desktop is hardwired the laptops use wireless and we all experience the same off and on connectivity problems...

[///ViNcE]

Try this, it would most likely work.
Change the Desktop to connect via a different IP such as 192.168.1.255. Along with other devices that go through, I think it might be that the computers get the IP but fight for the internet.

[xmetallicaz]

Change it to a static ip? and then what shud i put for the dns server?

is there anything i can change in the router settings that may help also?

Both can help in a way, usually the DNS, 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.2. It always works for me.
For the Router, there should be a way to where you can make the computers that join the network with the MAC Address get a set IP that you could set. Also helps improve security as it is a way to tell people that connect can't access the router or anything.

i was in my router by going to 192.168.1.1 and copied this ....

but now as usual sometimes when i try to connect to my router i get a:

500 Internal Server Error

[///ViNcE]

Some of this information is irrelevant.

Did you ever change the DNS settings on the router to Googles & did you also change your computer's IP???
One more thing I'd recommend looking at is what is called a MAC Filter on the Router.

[xmetallicaz]

my router is set as default configuration and i changed my ip adress jus now like u said

but i cant connect to my router because it says 500 internal server error

[///ViNcE]

Settings arn't right that you changed.
Screenshot, could you take of the configuration or maybe Teamviewer if you have it???
