i am having a similar problem recently
periodically IE loses the server connection
often just after bringing laptop out of sleep mode
sometimes it happens when i try to open a new browser window
it wont connect but the old window still connects fine
however NetTransport is happily downloading in the background !
Firefox browser will not connect (same as IE)
repair connection has nor effect
only solution is to reboot
running win xp sp2 fully updated
connect by wireless LAN
sony laptop VGN-S3XP
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 ????
