Hi! Thanks for the help so far, I'll give those things a try when I
next can. Just a quick update:

Firstly I can't swap out NIC's as they are built into my motherboard.
Secondly, the problem just occured and I was on MSN messenger talking
to someone and also downloading the Knoppix ISO. When the problem
occured, I could continue talking to my friend on MSN messenger and
the download for the Knoppix ISO continued, but i couldn't connect to
any websites or initaite any new conversations (my messages didn't get
through). This makes the problem even more odd as I have no idea what
is causing it. Any ideas?

You can't swap out NIC's built into a motherboard but you can disable
them and put in a PCI NIC and use it. Get Knoppix from a different
computer.

It sounds like any time you are trying to pull a fair amount of data you
lose connectivity. This points to hardware. I'm afraid I don't have any
more ideas for you except to do the methodical troubleshooting I
already suggested. Perhaps having a computer professional come on-site
would be better for you; only you can make that decision.
