#39

It does not seem to be firmly connected to the data transfer, I have on
occasion turned the computer on and loaded up google but hitting search and
the page wont load.. due to this bug. On other occasions the system has been
connected for several days solid and there has been no network issue
(including very large file transfers) and then again sometimes it does
happen.

Very frustrating that it happens so extremely intermittently, sometimes many
times in a row. If I were the only one having this issue I might suggest
that the hardware was dodgey but as I'm not alone I think this is ruled out.

I am on the lookout for it and will let you know as soon as it happens
again.

Cheers,

Alan
