Hi all,
I was using Windows XP SP3 at home for doing school homework.
My PC was connected to the Internet when I was typing words on MS Words,
and I did not launch any other applications except the Firefox 13.0.01.
I found that my PC would disconnect my PC from the Internet when I did not use
the browser to browse any webs for 5 minutes. If I left the browser idle without doing any searching or browsing, then I would not be able to connect to the Internet after 5 minutes.
That's weird, because I had not encountered this kind of problem when I was using XP SP2 a few months back.
Could someone help me please?
Thank you
Kitty.

Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK.
In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

Restart computer.
If that doesn't work...

Is it possible that FF is trying to update? Latest version of FF is 18.0.1.

Incorrect. It's fully support on XP-SP3. I'm using it now on XP-SP3.
