ok ok.. I got up this morning and had the same issue as last night. EVERYONE DO THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING CONNECTION TO RS PROBLEMS: 1) power down the computer completely 2) power down all of your network gear. (cable modem, dsl modem, firewall, anything that is used for internet connection) 3) power up the modem, once its done the self test and the lights are on. 4) Then the firewall, again, all lights should stablize before proceeding on to 5. 5)any other hubs, switches etc you might have and then your pc. I've done this twice now, once last night and now once this morning and have found the issue has dissappeared each time. I think there are some routing tables in there that need to get cleared when the internet as a whole changes its routing configuration. (total guess here, I work in real estate, not computers) Anyway, hope this helps and good luck!
