I'm running into a steam problem where after I quit a game that's connected over the internet, I am unable to get to any website, but I am able to stay on vent and mirc and talk/chat all I want. I guess the problem finally resolves itself in around 1-2 minutes, but it's really annoying and if something is setup wrong I don't want it to escalate from its current condition. Fyi, this happens to any computer on my network (i use a wireless router) and it seems the entire network just can't get to a website for 1-2 minutes.

Any ideas? It's a netgear wireless router, I'm plugged directly into it.

and it only happens when using the routeR? have you tried updating the router's firmware?

That use to happen in residence last year, if you were connected to irc/msn you could talk, but if you tried to sign in or view a website you couldnt. Sorry, no solution for you -=*(

the surest way to cure hiccups is through digital rectal massage.

As already mentioned: try updating the firmware on the router.
