Internet connection slows way down after awhile

[sbp1]

I have a cable modem connected to a computer running Windows 2000 Server. This server has a LAN that is connected to 2 other computers that connect to the internet through the server using Routing and RAS (This problem also occurred when I was using ICS). After several hours of internet access on the LAN computers, the connections slow waaaaay down. Everything else appears to be working fine on the server and workstations. The only affect is with the internet connection I'm using IE 5.5 on all computers. I can ping different IP addresses but usually only 1 of the 4 tries connects with the others timing out, so I still have connection, it is just slowed way down.

The only thing that seems to work is to reboot the server, which I would rather not do. Anybody have any suggestions??

Thanx in advance.
