I suppose it means that either my guess was wrong
or the problem that I was hypothesising fixed itself
while that prompt was up. ;)

I thought that an ipconfig /all would give you some information
about the DHCP lease that I assume you will be getting.
Can you check that occasionally please? Otherwise we will have to find
some other way of finding that information.

My hypothesis is that if the DHCP lease expires and
IE notices that between the time that it expired and the time
that it was renewed that we would have an explanation for the
symptom. Unfortunately I do not have such a connection
myself so I can not help you with the details of proving that
that is what might be happening.

I know of no such implementation. I was addressing the point
you made in both subthreads that your problem did not seem to be
related to any particular page or site. If you can get information
about your lease and monitor its expiry times I think that that
would be a simpler explanation. Then perhaps as a workaround
you could avoid any intense network activity around the time
of the expected renewal.

Before posting anywhere try a Google Groups search.
For example, try:
    "DHCP lease" MVP group:microsoft.*.windowsxp.*

Hmm... have you checked if there are any associated Event
entries (e.g. using Event Viewer, probably the System log)
which correlate with the outages?

Good. That's what I'm using too. Ideally though it would be better
to find someone who has the same link type to compare procedures
with.
