I have a problem with my computer and I am hoping you
might have some idea how to put it right.

I can connect to Internet Explorer and it will let me
search the WEB for about 7 to 10 minutes minutes then it
refuses to open any page.

I have loaded Netscape and it does the same.

Both show the below page after 7 to 10 minutes.

I should add that when I switch the computer off and on
again or just re-boot I can use the browser again for 7
to
10 minutes.





The page cannot be displayed

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer



However Windows Messenger, Microsoft Outlook and any
other
programme that does not use the browser suck as Kazaa
still works. So the machine is still connected to NTL
Broadband.

I fear a virus or bug is shutting down the port for the
browser.

Would this be right and have you any idea how can I
check
it out and put it right.
