Public bug reported: Sometimes, once my computer has started up and my desktop environment has loaded, I will have unsuccessful internet connection. My router connection will still show as receiving a signal. However, I will enter a URL into my browser (Firefox), and it will be 'Connecting' for minutes, before eventually failing to load the web page.
I use a USB wireless-G adapter dongle (Linksys WUSB54GC), along with a wired extender. Disconnecting and unplugging the adapter for ten seconds then replugging it and reconnecting always rectifies the problem. I'm able to successfully connect to the world wide web once again, and any web page will load up. This will additionally happen with Steam and the Ubuntu Software Centre, so I know it is not just a Firefox problem. Other times the internet works fine on startup.
