Initially I noticed this when her computer was not being used or was
completely shut down. A few days ago she was online doing some
surfing when I suffered one of the blackouts, and I took the
opportunity to ask her about what was going on for her. She was
having no trouble at all though and continued to surf and download
pages even when I was getting no response at all.

Okay, the next chance I get I will try this out. Since I had never
heard of this I could only try pinging things like google by name, and
got no result. I imagine that would be expected if I had nameserver
difficulty. If it turns out I can ping 4.2.2.2 how will I then
address my problem?
Many thanks,
