Hello all.. any help with this frustrating issue will be much appreciated, as i humbly consider myself a power user and could not solve it.
On windows start, my connection works fine, TCP UDP IGMP etc, netbios, ping, surf, all works ok on all ports. After 10-20 minutes, http connection dies! ping works, and i use shareaza which stays conencted; real player (when playing live streams) continue playing the stream without an issue. I am in a LAN, with a static IP, can ping the dns server and other lanned pc's and everything works fine, just browsing dies! After 10-15 mins of non browsing connectivity, the net comes to work again! surf for another approx. 15 mins, then the same thing happens again. Only a a reboot would solve it for me when i do not wanna wait.
Tried to repair TCP/IP stack, with no luck, plus nothing in eventlog that points usefull info. Have a clean system, no BHO, spywares, hijacks or viruses, running win xp pro/sp2 uptodate, firewall disabled, lan card: realtek 8139. any ideas? tnx in advance.

Wait for the prompt to restart your computer, and restart.

How about ipconfig /renew when this happens?

Also, it could be a problem with something other then the connection itself. Maybe your browser needs updating, or your firewall (if you have one) blocks communications as a security response to some obscure event.

However, in my school we have a lan connection and it often has a problem with browsing like you described - certain sites are not available and such. Try to disconnect yourself from lan and see if your connection runs fine then. Unless of course your connection comes through lan.

actually i tried all what u described ilya56, and it is not limited to certain sites or certain browser, plus i have firewall turned off. I found the same issue with few users while searching and no one seemed to have a resolution for it, extremely odd and rare thing to happen!
bcastner, i went with your suggestion and now testing, i'll post when i am sure of the result...

When you are down can you ping both an IP and A WWW.
ping 68.142.197.90
ping I had a PC a couple weeks ago that had a bad NIC cable I could ping but not surf, A note book PC hocked to the same cable would surf. One wire open in cable when tested with NIC tester. Point to be made don't over look any thing.
