Scenario is this; home network with D-Link DIR655 router, two desktops and one laptop all running Windows 7 Home premium.

Occasionally, when a PC boot up, there is no internet connection and running the diagnostics says that the DNS server (ie the router) isn't working but i know it is as the other PCs on the network are working fine.

This can happen at random to any of the PCs and the only solution I have so far is to turn off the offending PC and turn it back on again.

It appears from www posts to be a problem with Win7 but no MS solution unless anyone knows better?
