A weird one here, but putting it out there in case anyone else has had a similar problem and knows how to fix it.

My internet works fine when I first start up my computer, and can keep working anywhere from 5 - 60 minutes. But then, for some reason, it just hangs. Typically, I click to go to a new page, and it takes ages before telling me the site cannot be found. And it will not work again until I rebbot. Interestingly, I can keep downloading something in the background from the internet (like a torrent) and no problems.

I am using Internet Explorer 8 and Windows XP Service Pack 3.

It seems like a memory issue, and that I have somehow flicked a setting somewhere that is limiting things.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
