Losing internet connection...

I have my computer on 24/7, but after a few days I lose my internet connection. I stayed signed onto AIM and am able to chat on that, but unable to view and load web pages. I get the web site unavailable on every page that I go to. I am connected through my university's LAN and the internet is not down when this occurs. Is there a reason that this happens? I am using XP Pro with IE 6 with all updates loaded and installed. Any insite would be great. Thanks.

Device Manager->Network adapter->check the properties for the power mgnt option to put the nic to sleep.

Or just reboot the darn thing

Thanks Ezy. I do reboot to correct the situation, but I was looking for a cause and maybe even a more complete solution to the issue I had.
