Hello conrad. Known issue. On the other side we can suggest something specific. You have to experiment. Try the suggestions at the following links:

Good luck.

Resetting my router/modem thingie works for me. Unplug power > wait a few > plug back in > wait for internet to connect > login.

It usually just means that you need to reboot your router. Unplug it, walk away, have a cup of coffee, come back, plug it in.

Occasionally, it means that the deafult DNS settings that your ISP assigned to you are wonky.  If so, try replacing them with Google's free public DNS servers.  For easy instructions, see  http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html
