   And uh, an IDS won't tell you shit if the blockage is external to your   
   computer. In IDS, the I is key. I=Intrusion. A blockage is not internal   
   and it's not an intrusion.   
      
   How is it obvious you are being blocked by a firewall rule? Is it   
   possible that the source of your internet is simply a shitty ISP with an   
   unreliable connection itself?   
      
   Is it possible that changing your MAC address causes your connection to   
   reset? (it's actually more than possible, it's mandatory) Resetting your   
   connection may be what is resulting in it working again. It's entirely   
   possible you have a flaky wifi chip.  I had one go out on my HP laptop.   
   My connection became increasingly unreliable until one day it failed all   
   together. Once I replaced the wifi assembly, I never had a problem again.
