Hi guys, me again, with another problem. It's concerning my internet connection and Steam. Here I go...

My kit is an vm(ntl)255 modem. For the wireless i use the Netgear Router provided with the Virgin Media Wireless Kit. I also (Stupid me...) installed the software with the wireless kit. Things were okay, i could surf the net, play a game, until...

I start up steam, look for a server to play Team Fortress 2 on, and suddenly my internet goes off the moment I press "Refresh". Me, thinking this is just a hiccup, reset the modem and router respectively. Then I notice it's not a hiccup. It does it again, and again, and again. I'd very much like to play the games I paid for, and something here has messed up. I've not changed anything in any way to cause it to do this. Here's a ping test and trace route.
