I have a question about Connect to a Windows XP or 2000 system with a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network:

I have a cable modem to router, router to computers (XP and ME) type network. Everything is spiffy. I can access the internet, share files and printers, play games, everything my network is supposed to do. Yay! After a period of time -- ranging anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours -- the connection on all machines dies at exactly the same time. I can get it back by renewing the DHCP through the router. Then everything works beautifully again for a short time. What could be happening? How do I fix this so that my connection is consistent?
