very strange internet connection problem at home.. my computer starts
to drop internet connection after about 10 minutes from booting. Using
motoroal 5100 surfboard cable modem, COX as ISP, Windows XP
professional. When this happens no sign of change on the modem as all
lights are green and solid on the cable modem with activity light
blinking, Also:

I can still access a few sites with https protocol but doing a http
request on a browser always fails even though I can ping the site! I
can ping ISP's DNS server and do dnslookup.

Only way to fix this seem to be restart the box, then it fails after 10
minutes or so. if I logout or do iprelease iprenew it doesn't help,
even though ipconfig -all shows same configs as when it was connected,
but browsing to any web gets timeout, except a few site I can do https
requets.

Any expert ideas? Help!!

thanks.
