Check to see if you are able to access a known site - when this problem occurs - by pyping the site IP directly into your browser ...
For example ... - if you type this URL - you will go to the IBM US site
When you have your problem - try above URL again ... according to your info this will not work. If you have a DNS problem , then by typing - you will be trying to connect to same site - but without needing to access a DNS server.
If this works - then you most certainly are loosing DNS when you problem occurs. This explains why your other applications are still active - because they don't rely on maintaining DNS resolutions ...
OK, if its DNS ... then we have some focus as to what to look for in your router configuration. Yes, this could be just a router missconfiguration.
Perhaps when you confirm that above ... you can also specify your router make and model and settings you used for the DNS set-up with your ISP (check with them first - as they may have given you incorrect info in the first place).
Hope this info is helpful :-)
