    I formatted my hard drive yesterday out of spite for my system (which in itself is a long story) and I've been having problems with my internet ever since. It randomly will stop working and it's sort of annoying. I'll be in the middle of browsing and suddenly, nothing will load. About 30-45 seconds later (sometimes longer), everything is fine again. It's getting quite annoying. And I know it's not my company since no other computer's in my house are affected and it's only happened since I formatted, so don't tell me to call the company. Anyone know what it might be? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers twice.

    Mayber you have a bug messin' with it? It might be good to run your anti-spyware software a time or two. if it's not that, maybe the browser?

    This might not be your issue, but there's a tcpip.sys tweak at http://lvllord.de/ that lets you increase your maximum number of connections. You could always try that and see if it works.

    I gave it a couple days, and it's disconnecting less now. But I'll take a look at that site you suggested. :)

    Okay, so I wasn't crazy when I thought of suggesting that.

    An update to this: I haven't been experiencing any disconnects or anything lately. So I don't know what the problem was. But it's all good now. Thanks for the suggestions, though. I'll definitely keep them in mind in case it happens again.
