    This is a ibt odd and this just started happening recently. When I first boot up my computer, everything is working fine. Then when I leave and come back Internet explorer AND Netscape will not work at all, which they were working fine earlier...there are not any error messages displayed (besides the normal page not found ones)...yet AOL instant messenger continues to work perfectly fine...no spyware or viruses...I checked using the reccomendatinos on this forum...any ideas?? Once I reboot everything works fine again until I leave it on for a bit(i haven't seen a normal amount of time)and come back and it repeats the same thing...I cannot remember anything abnormal when the onset of this problem occurred.

    XP Pro SP2...3GhZ Dimension 8300 512 Ram Radeon 9800pro 40 gig harddrive

    Next time it goes down, before you reboot, see if you can ping yahoo.com from a command prompt.
    Do you have the firewall enabled on XP? Do you have any other firewalls? What about a router? Cable or DSL?
