This is the 3rd time ive tried to post this message...internet locks up after 5-10 minutes on line, the internet stops working. The other 2 machines on the router do OK with internet. I have to reboot to get onto internet again. The rest of comp works OK. My NIC?

Could be your NIC, NIC-driver, virus, some other program that tries to access the internet to check for updates & crashes, ...

I would:

1.) Update NIC / drivers
2.) Install Zonealarm or another software firewall to see which programs are accessing the internet
3.) Pick up the computer, take it to the cliff and throw it down :evil:
 
Look at the IRQ list, and see if the NIC is having an IRQ by itself, or if it is sharing with a friendly device (USB is IRQ wise friendly, Video is bad).

Click on Control Panel /System and remove the current NIC Drivers.

Switch off the computer, take out the NIC. Reboot.

Look again at the Control Panel /System Properties, and make sure that there is no Ghost installation related to Network Hardware, if there is remove it.

Switch off again. If the NIC had a good IRQ assignment put it back in the same slot, otherwise insert it in a different slot (do not use the slot next to the AGP Video Card).

The computer will detect the NIC, and hopefully will let configure every thing correctly.

If it does not load correctly get a new NIC ( many for $5)

Well, my NIC is onboard the mobo...so taking it out is right out. I checked the IRQ...no conflict. Additionally, I can ping a website indefinately, so...I think the problem is IE somewhere.
 
Installed EZTrust Antivirus and got latest virus file...no infection. I disabled the onboard NIC in CMOS...installed old Linksys NIC. So far so good, but this is the first site i have been to. ANYone have more thots???
 
If you're using IE, see if there are any updates.
You could also try downloading some other browser (say, Netscape or something else) and see if that works better.
Might be some corrupted files ???😕
