Hi John
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, nor type of server
connection (i.e., dial-up, cable, DSL),but, try the following and see if it
helps:
Click Tools>Internet Explorer>Connection>Settings>Advanced...see if it is
set to disconnect. If so, uncheck it.
You might also check the information here:

Start>Settings> Control Panel>Network and Dial-up Connections>Local Area
Connection>Properties>Configure>Power Management tab>uncheck Allow the
computer to turn off this device to save power.

Screen freezes with IE are most commonly caused by video drivers that need
updating. Go to the web site of your video card manufacturer and get the
latest drivers for your card. As a work around, try turning down your
hardware acceleration, color depth, and/or screen resolution. If these
work, then new drivers are in order.
Other causes are scripting engines that need reinstalled or updated:

Or the Java VM: Microsoft's -

And, if you are using a McAfee anti-virus program, and it's set to scan all
files, try changing it to scan programs and documents only.
