I am running windows 2000 and have a problem with my internet connections. When I am using the internet(Mozilla or IE) my internet fails after about 2 hours for sites that I haven't been to yet. Sites that I have already connected to remain working. When I ping from the dos prompt, I can ping IP Addresses, but not by domain name (ie will fail.

Rebooting my computer fixes the problem.

I have tried many things including
IPConfig /renew
Restarted the "Network Connections", "DNS Client", and "DHCP Client" Services

Any Suggestions?
