Internet Explorer loses connection after around 1 hour
the system:
using LAN
IE 6
the problem:
IE6 loses connection everytime after use of around 1 hour or more(if i'm lucky), though other programs like icq and msn are still working and connected to the net. Have tried using other browsers like Firefox, the same problem occured.
sometimes after refreshing many times, the connection comes back but the page is not fully loaded and after a few tries, the internet connection is completely lost.
can anyone help? thanx in advance!

Never know...
thanx so much for your suggestions.
i have managed to solve the problem, shall post here so those with similar problems might find it useful:
1. checked 'view network connections' and 'LAN connection status' --- the sent packets is increasing exponentially compared to the received packets.
2. my fren suggested that it's the work of worms opening ports/backdoors.
3. installed a firewall, restarted in safe mode, did a complete virus scan, did a spyware scan plus removal, and the problem is solved
