Internet Explorer Slows to about a stop

I have a Windows 2000 server setup as a router for internet connectivity for two different LANs. One LAN uses a 100MB/s NIC to a computer in the same room and another LAN is setup for 10Base-2 throughout the rest of the house. Each machine has IE5.5 installed. After several hours of connection to the internet on the client computers, the connection to the internet slows way down almost to a stop. I can ping external addresses but usually only one of the four tries gets a response, so the connection is still there, it is just extremely slow. Everything else on all machines work fine, CPU usage and memory usage is reasonable. The only thing that seems to fix this is to reboot the server.

The same thing happened when I had only one LAN and was using ICS for interenet connections. So I tried the Routing and RAS setup and it didn't help.

Does anybody have any clues on what to look for?
