Internet connection Loss

My son tells me he updated the .NET framework and deleted Zonealarm and it
hasn't happened in a while. I don't believe it's zone alarm as we disabled
that in earlier tests.

Stay tuned

Thank you this is the most promising feedback I've yet received.
I do have to say that I'm not dealing with Vista Or IE7. this is a XP SP3
with IE6. and we don't do automatic updates. This is a business environment
so all updates are tested before they're allowed to be deployed. If they're
not NEEDED for certain they're not deployed at all. We don't run any home
products (like zone alarm) at all and all local software firewalls are
disabled via group policy.

We have, recently, Disabled the onboard NIC and installed a PCI NIC. We
have also replaced the entire cable run from the machine back to the main
switch.

The weird part is that when this 'cut out' or 'internet connection loss'
occurs it only seems to effect viewing the internet. All websites can be
'pinged' from a command prompt and all network LAN resources as well as WAN
resources can be accessed. All networking on this machine seems to be
working.

A new note...

The internet pages can be pinged but wont display in IE. ALSO outlook will
not connect with the external exchange server.

I see we're not the only ones.....check out a few of the other threads. Seems
this is going around.

The .NET framework update still seems to be holding. Longest success so far.

Are you positive none of the 'forced' fixes recently provided by Microsoft
wasn't deployed on your network? I'm running XP SP3 and I'm pretty sure my
computer was force fed two or three in the last few weeks. I came out,
computer was restarted with that nice little box telling you they forced it
on the system because of a potential security flaw. We use Marimba at work
for deployment and my work computer (XPpro) was restarted a few times.

Yes, I am certain it wasn't forced. We have updates disabled all together
unless we're actually pushing one out. This is the ONLY machine in the
environment having this issue though most all others are same install, same
hardware config purchased at same time.

This issue has been corrected. Thanks to all who helped. We made two changes
simultaneously so we're not sure which one corrected the issue,
unfortunately.
The changes were disabling all the add-on's & Replacement of the cable and
the network card in for that machine.

Thank you again.
