Tip: get the system to where you want it to be and then image it. The
next time you feel the need to reinstall the OS, just restore the
image. You'll save a ton of time by not having to reinstall your apps.

What kind of Internet access do you have? Cable, DSL, dial-up,
cellular, WISP, other?
What does your local network look like? Do you have a router? Do you
have other PC's that presumably keep working when this one doesn't?
What does the output of "ipconfig /all" look like? Check it when the
connectivity is good as well as when it's bad so you can compare the
results.
When you lose connectivity, can you still ping your router, if you
have one?
I expect ipconfig to tell you what's going on, so be sure to check
that. You'll need to open a Command Prompt and run it from there, of
course.
