Intermittent connection issues on LAN

[ronald_peterson]

Hey frnds,


Now this is a strange problem. Need help.
I just moved from a DSL(PPPO) Connection to LAN (Cable) connection. Everything seems perfect except that suddenly the browser says Cannot find server. thats almost after i have been browsing for say 40-45 mins.

What all i did,
Ping to DNS - success
Ping to Gateway - success
Ping to Google - success
Ping to DELl - success


Flush DNS. Disconnected reconnected. stil no go. but the minute i resstart the computer it works absolutely fine may be again for another 40-45 mins and again goes for a TOSS.


I have AMD semptrol 2800 system with 512 DDR2 and XP SP2. i use IE and Opera.


Also one more point everytime i turn on my computer my firewall(Zonealarm) gives me a pop up that a unidentified program wants to acces the net. Should i allow or disallow. If i dont allow the net wont work at all.


Once i allow it works fine.





Guys throw some light on this..

try this turn off zone alarm firewall and then  turn on windows fire wall then try accessing the internet.it maybe a bug with zone alarm's firewall.

[Spoiler]

I would want to know what that program is....it may point to toward the answer. Read this over.....
