Just moved into my new place and got Roadrunner cable internet service. While downloading the BF2 demo yesterday i noticed that I cannot download anything from Bittorrent or mIRC while searching the web. Even when not surfing the web and using Bittorrent it will disconnect me after a couple of minutes. There is not notification saying that I am disconnected it just drops down to 0Kbps and stays there. If I try to ping any website from my computer while it is in the state it will time out. For the most part the only way that I can get my connection back is by restarting my computer. Any help/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

*Edit* also when I am jsut surfing the internet eventually I will get to a point where all my pages have to be reloaded a couple of times to hopefully be seen. Some pages have never opened up on my machine such as www.vonage.com
