I just addded a computer to our network last night and for some reason, after about being connected to the network and being able to acces the internet, etc... the computer just gets disconnected from the network and I have no internet access. Both computers are running WinXP and I can't tell you how many times I've run the Network Setup wizard. The computers are connected through a hub and like I said, for about 10-15 minutes the computer has no problems until all of a sudden I can't surf the net anymore. I am not sure if it's a problem that I have set up or if it's with my ISP.
My thing is, that if it's connected once, why is it being disconnected??? That sounds like a problem with my ISP but they were no help when I tried calling them.
Any suggestions on this is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

My computer does the same thing.. it seems like only when I am running a few programs it disconnects itself from the network itself. I have a microsoft MN-130 ethernet card in both computers, and only my computer diconnects like this. I tried a few things, but no luck.. any help would be apreciated. Also AOL seems to connect very slow through my computer, and disconnects alot when I am on aol, or using any file sharing agent.
