Computer keeps going offline

[amber]

In the past 2 weeks I will be on a website and suddenly I get a box in the middle of the page telling me to connect/dial to get online.  I have DSL through Verizon and no dial up.  When I go to File the Work Offline is checked.  I uncheck it and I am fine for a few minutes and then it happens again. This just started and I was wondering why.  I hesitate to call Verizon because I spend such a long time on the phone.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

How are you connected to the internet? are you using a wireless router or using cable?

I am using a Westell modem via an ethernet line run into my house on a separate phone line.  Verizon is my telephone service, and they also offer DSL.

Thanks!  Hope you can figure this out.

Go to network places, and tell me how many connections you have running
