This is just a thought. Is your ISP using Roadrunner? Here in Australia the Bigpond ISP uses Roadrunner on cable modem connections. It sends a 'heartbeat' down the line every 5 minutes or so to check the line's still being used. If it gets no reply then it disconnects. For networked machines this means the client has trouble either connecting to or staying connected to the net. We have a utility we can install to get around this problem. While researching for myself I came across mention of a utility that does much the same thing for the US. I don't know if this will work but have a look, it might :) http://www.nopcode.com Good luck.
