Network stops after time

I just installed QWest DSL and their installation wizard (or use of the XP
network wizard) has really screwed up my network interface. I have XP Pro
(all service packs/patches), two NICs, one for my home office network and
one for a small development network of embedded devices. The home office NIC
is the one the DSL modem is attached to. Other computers do not seem to have
the same issue, they are still set exactly how they were to run with the
previous internet access (Direcway).
I ran the CD installer on my PC and it never worked. I ended up calling
QWest and getting help to do a manual installation. All seemed to work fine
except that after some time (not sure how long or if inactivity is the key)
my PC has no connection to the internet. IE reports a server not found or
DNS error and Outlook can not connect to the mail server. If I disable the
NIC and then re-enable it all is well again.
Can anyone give me some pointers as to what is going on here and maybe how
to fix it.
Thanks,
Sid.
