It turns out that hardcoding the TCP/IP4 setting to 192.168.1.111 and the 
gateway to 192.168.1.1 has helped.

But this experience seems to reveal some serious weaknesses in networking. It 
is too easy for anyone else with another wi-fi device to bring down the DSL!

I am going to assume there is a flaw in the ADB P.DG A4001N router/DSL modem 
that the internet provider gives its customers.
