Internet Connection Freezing.

[brent01]

My Internet connection keeps freezing between 30-60 minutes after connection. I am using a modem - dial up connection.

I can initially connect to the Internet quite happily and browse away, but after a while when I try to connect to any websites I get 'unable to connect' in my web browser. The modem is still connected and is happily recieving a constant stream data (although I don't know what) If I disconnect the modem and re-connect to the net I still can't access any websites. Only when I re-boot can I connect and use the net as normal (until another 30-60 mins has passed)

It's not IE because Opera gives the same message (or it's version of 'unable to connect)

Anybody have any ideas why my modem (connection is still active) but I can't access any sites?

Any help please

Thanks

I'd try spyware/adware removal first with SpyBot and Ad-aware.
