Quirky Internet Connection

[Antoniohawk]

Lately I have been having major problems with my internet connection. It seems that after a certain period of computer use, the internet decides that it just doesnt want to work anymore and i get a "http://www.google.com could not be found" and the "Page cant be displayed" in internet explorer. Unfortunately i am running windows me which may be (when i say may be, i actually mean "is") the seed of my destruction. The browsers arent at fault, as far as i know, since i can still view local html files and such as im coding. Anyone know what the cause of this might be, it's really starting to irritate me since i have to restart quite often.

Thx for the advice justame, ill try that out. Refreshing has been tested and found to not work.

*edit*
You were right about the unplugging, that does the trick. Any way to prevent this from happening tho?
