On a friend's computer, she has Verizon DSL and a Westell 6100F modem. On Sunday, the connection was working fine, but then when the computer went into Standby, the Internet light went off, and she cannot view any Web pages. The DSL and Data lights are on. I checked the cables and they're okay. I did ping commands for her IP address (192.168.1.47), and 192.168.1.1. It said 4 packets received and 0 lost. I also tried turning the modem off and turning it back on after a bit, and I tried pressing the little red button with a pen.
What exactly would cause the Internet light to go off suddenly, and is there a way to get it back on once again? What else should I check, if any? I have the same service, yet I'm not experiencing any of this.
