An effective firewall can ensure that you are not being attacked from the internet
which can cause these problems . The following site may help to explain attacks threatened
via chatrooms

Also visit
http://www.wilders.org/firewalls.htm
A quote from their site "IRC and chat nuking.
People who use chat groups (IRC, ICQ) tend to invite harassing interference from
other malicious chatters. These lamers send "ICMP nukes" and other datagrams to tell
your system that it can no longer reach the chat server. A firewall can block this".
This site explains firewalls in an easy to understand manner and lists free and commercial
firewalls that you buy or download. I use Sygate Personal Firewall which eliminated
similar problems.
Cheers
