Internet Explorer HangsUp Under Window XP Pro

[ss]

I recently Upgraded to Windows XP Professional from Windows 98 (First
Edition). Most everything went smoothly except for my web access. I use a
fiber optic cable modem and LAN. I've used this for 2+ years under Win98
with no problem. My current problem is that when I log onto the internet
everything works well for about 5 minutes. Then my web browser stops
functioning and I get the dreaded "cannot connect to this..." page.
Interestingly enough I still have internet access because I can ping my ISP
without difficulty. Once I reboot I'm good for another 3 to 5 minutes
before my browser hangs up. All other programs on the computer work fine
and don't hang up. I tried to reinstall Internet Explorer 6.0 from the
Microsoft web site but receive the message: "A newer version is already
installed." Then, the install program terminates.

I think the problem is in the XP program.

What is the experience in running the Windows XP Pro upgrade program again?
I hate to do this but unless I get some good advice I may have to.

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Have updated the drivers?

Any question marks -Start, Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager?
