What OS are you running?
How do you connect to the net? Cable? xDSL? OC3? Dial-up?
If you're running cable, do you run straight off of the modem into your NIC, or do you go through a hub/router/switch?
Do you run any *ahem* uncapping software?

O/S= XP Home edition

Internet connection= DSL

My computer > Hub > DSL > The World

and as far as uncapping software, i have no clue what this is, but i am running McAfee firewall, any thoughts?

Is your net connection timing out perhaps?
Is there a problem with your hub perhaps?

i'm doubting that theres something up with the hub, my roommate doesn't have this problem, and he connects to it exacly the same... I'm not sure what you mean by net timing....

How many IP's are you allowed? Sounds like you're connecting, and the second IP is getting kicked. Check w/ your provider.
