I have a problem with the internet connection dropping out on one computer on a network of 3 computers. All running Win XP SP2 & IE 6. The other two computers do not have an issue.

The only way to get the internet connection back again is to reboot the computer.

When the internet connection does drop the computer is still showing & accessible on the network from the other two computers. When the internet connection does drop out the other two computers still have their internet access.

Help please!

Thanks DimaYasny, I've now reset the winsock catalog and rebooted. I already have the latest NIC drivers installed. Am just waiting now to see if the connection drops again
