periodically IE loses the server connection
often just after bringing laptop out of sleep mode but can happen any time
happens at least every other day
sometimes it happens when i try to open a new browser window
it wont connect (no server error message) but the old window still connects
fine
and browses for a while before it too loses connection
however NetTransport is happily continuing to downloading in the background !
Firefox browser will not connect (same as IE)
repair connection has no effect
only solution is to reboot
running win xp sp2 fully updated
connect by wireless LAN
sony laptop VGN-S3XP
wirelass lan inbuilt - belkin hub
use zonealarm but not windows firewall
(but disabling makes no difference once problem encountered)
virus checked with AVG Spybot AdAware
any ideas anyone - how can i even start to diagnose ????
