can anyone help me please
i have a pc running windows xp sp2 on a broadband connection which works just fine for about 4 -5 hours then i can no longer access the net.Everything else seems to to be fine its just that my internet access doesnt work.
i run outpost pro ver 2.7.481.5421(415).
this is really annoying as the only way i can access the net is to reboot

It is best if you get a router as it has several advantages.

* Off loads the task of ignoring rogue packets thus not impacting system performance
* Can be set to keep the connection alive automatically
* Provides an additional layer of protection by isolating the system

A router can be had for almost free with rebates.

I'm using a SMC7004VBR router that I purchased for $40.00 a couple of years ago and I feel it was the best investment that I have made.
