Connection breaks after 30mins of usage

[XRCD]

Hi Guys, presently i had just switch to cable modem. But after afew days of usage, my surfing will just cut off and no more access to other websites unless i do a reboot. I'm using Win XP, hope someone will help me before i breakoff again. Thanks.:(

Could be a driver problem,check for updates on your modem,I have dsl and mine used to do that until I updated my drivers and no problems since.

Am I the only one who believes in rebooting daily and defragging weekly?

[raftero]

i usually defrag about once a week but usually only reboot if i have to shut down for thunderstorms or going out of town,since i went to xp.with 98 i rebooted some times twice a day if i used it a lot,it would slow down.

Hi Guys, thanks for all your help. ;) I had found out the real culprit which i would like to share this with you. It is my McAfee fire wall which is blocking some connection files. After i had disabled it, my surf is as free as a bird. But i still need to examine what are the files that it is affecting. Hmmm...:confused:

Get rid of the McAfee and use Zone Alarm or Sygate - or the builtin XP firewall, it's adequate.
