I've gotta admit I didn't follow a well structured troubleshooting plan at
first. Generally though it's not necessary, just try a couple of things and
usually the solution presents itself. There was added difficulty in this
case because the problem would sometimes not show for hours and because of
this I thought a direct cable connection had solved the problem when it
hadn't. Usually when standard problem solving fails then there are multiple
problems. It turned out that my dlink network card was faulty and also my
dlinlk router. The dlink wireless box was also faulty but that wasn't part
of this problem. I've bought a linksys wireless router and plugged in a
non-dlink card so everything is working again. I guess it really was one
common point of failure - Dlink. That problem is solved for good.
