Hi everyone! I recently built a new XP system and transferred all of my software 
and files over from my old computer using PCmover. Everything has worked great...except 
for two things:

1) The lesser evil. I can't get any of my links to work in Outlook Express or in 
programs that browse such as iTunes. This is problematic in the latter because I 
can't update it, as the button will not allow me to copy the URL like I do for Outlook.

2) The worst. My internet connection dies periodically. I have two other XP machines 
linked (wired) through the same router (Linksys WRT100 RangePlus), and they have 
had zero problems. My new system will work fine for 5 min or maybe 5 hours, and then 
it suddenly stops working. No "network cable unplugged" message, it just suddenly 
takes a long time looking for a page and eventually gives me a "network connection 
has timed out" message. My network connection always looks the same. All I have to 
do is restart, and it works just fine again...for 5 min to 5 hours.

I've had trouble researching this issue because the search keywords are so common. 
Can anyone shed some light on possible solutions? Thanks!

PS - I’d classify my computer knowledge as high intermediate…enough to get myself 
in trouble, so try not to get TOO technical on me. :-)
