Internet Help

Okay I currently have Comcast as my internet service provider (cable obviously). I use a Linksys EtherFast 4-port router that goes to two different computers in my house. Both computers use IE as thier web broweser. Lately whenever I open IE and go to a website my AIM signs off or loses connection. Also, sometimes IE loses connection and needs to be refreshed twice before it comes back. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Is this a problem with both computers or just one particular machine?
