Why do I have to release/renew my IP every few minutes?

I've done a fresh install of XP and I have a weird issue.

For some reason after browsing the net for a while, I cannot view any websites. (Yahoo, Anand, whatever). If I release/renew my IP it is immediately fine for a few more minutes, and then starts up again.

Any ideas? I've never had this happen before. The only thing that is different with this windows install over the past ones is I am using onboard NIC on a P4P800. I have been using it for about a week or two now, but when I started using it last week it was off of my old install that previously had a seperate NIC card originally.

Don't know if that makes a difference or not...

I'm not running a router or hardware firewall or anything. I've rebooted my ADSL modem and my PC several times, no difference.

Any ideas?

Actually, I'm not going to follow your advice but I think you were right. My ISP was doing some mainenence yesterday, so they say and that supposedly is why.

It hasn't happened yet today, so I guess they weren't lying to me!
