Have you checked for spywares and mal wares or viruses?
In case it works abit and stops another time but you are still connected, then i recommend fixing your win socks using this

WinSockFix will offer a last resort if your Internet connection is corrupted due to removed or invalid registry entries.

It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings.

If you encounter connection problems after removing network related software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then give WinSock XP Fix a try.

It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly safe to use.

Note: Be sure to read the "Info" before running this software.


Also make sure there is no firewall preventing you from using the internet.

this indeed happens from time to time with me too. There is no explanation for it, it simply seems that the connection "times out". Mostly happens after a long while of inactivity (inactivity as in I'm not doing anything on the PC, but that doesn't mean the PC is not using the net though (eg: IRC))

It certainly doesn't have anything todo with malware, firewalls or whatever, at least here.

I had once my socks messed up. I could perfectly connect, a page or 3 work but then it stops then after several attempts it works again then it stops.

Im not sure if this is his case.. however he can clarify it more.
