My computer has been kicking me off the internet.  I can use my browser for a few minutes, then it just stops working.  The hardware connection (cable internet) is fine.  I reboot, and internet starts working again.  For a few minutes.  Then the connections fail.

I'm using XP.  This happen to anyone else?  How do you fix this?

run virus scan

download ad aware and spy bot

start a ping and let it run for a few minutes and see if your ping dies at the same time your browser quits working (ping IP_ADDRESS -t)

Problems with LAN drivers?  LAN settings?

If the LAN hardware is embeded on the motherboard, how about corrupted chipset drivers?

I've seen that before.
