I seem to be having the same or a very similar problem as theUnattender. Essentially everything works fine for awhile (time seems to vary) then all of a sudden BAM web browsing just stops. Like he said though can still browse my local network and I can ping www.google.com etc. I've seen a few other posts on various forums with similar sounding problems but haven't really come across a solution yet. Only thing that seems to be a guaranteed "fix" is to reboot the computer. Anyone have any ideas. This all started after installing SP2, from a clean install and all that good stuff. The computer has been kept quite "clean" as a whole since the new hard drive/install a few weeks ago. I didn't seem to have this problem at first so it certainly could be a program I installed in the interim, unfortunately I can't pin down when exactly this started happening. here's windows information: Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158: service pack2 Hardware is an AMD based laptop with a mobile athlon XP 2500+ via KT266a based motherboard with the VT 8367 southbridge It has the built in VIA VT6102 Rhine II Fast Ethernet adapter for NIC. Anyone have any ideas? I'd really love some feedback if anyone has some to give. Thank you.
