Problems with Internet
I've got some problems with my Internet connection. When computer has been on few minutes, Internet Explorer can't find pages anymore. After reboot it works again but only few minutes.
I could almost swear that connection goes out. This is not the case though: pings go through (example: command ping www.google.com ) and back without lost packets. Also downloads come through without interrupts and mIRC don't lose connection to IRC servers. I thought problem has to be with IE and I spent 2 available minutes to download Firefox. Don't work any better.
As summary I can tell that during few first minutes creating connections work as they should. But then my Internet software don't seem to get anywhere. WWW browsers don't find pages, mIRC complains something about buffers and Ad-Aware can't check patches. Existing contacts don't break, so I can use mIRC on servers where I have got connect during first few minutes and downloads come through. I share Internet connection and price with 2 roommates. They don't have problems and neither does my old PC.
OS is finnish Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have turned off Windows Firewall but it don't have effect. I type this with my old PC. This is screenshot of the Task Manager immediately after Windows has loaded. Is there anything what should not be there?
