Internet cuts off each time PC is turned off

[Doire]

Friend of mine has hooked up to the internet. If he turns off his computer and then turns it on a day later the internet conenction is gone.

He is using broadband.

What could be the causes/solutions

Thanks for the help

Try unplugging the modem for about 15-30 seconds. The reconnect, and restore power to the computer.

Thanks Flame. But will he need to do this EVERYTIME he wants to connect to the net?

That depends... Have him do it just once... That might fix the problem for good... Although, if his modem is damaged, then maybe... If you want to know what I do, then listen up... Once a month, a run a scheduled power outage... (I cut-off all electricity all of my components).... I later restore power after about 5-10 minutes... Works for me!
