Must reboot to connect to the Internet

[Larry]

After I have been connected to the Internet [56k modem] I
must reboot to reconnect again. I can dial up to my ISP
but nothing works ie. I cannot send or receive mail & web
pages will not be displayed even though I am connected.
Once I reboot everything works OK again.
This is really annoying

Any error messages?

Would your ISP call you a "heavy user"?

Many ISP have more than just a two hour limit set up. Perhaps it's...

1) What ISP are you using? 2) Did you call their tech support for help
and if yes, what did they tell you? 2) Did your Internet connection
ever work? If yes, what changed between the time it worked and the time
it didn't? 3) What does a scan with your current antivirus (using
updated definitions) show? It is also helpful to remove spyware/malware
with tools like Spybot Search & Destroy and/or Ad-aware as malware can
negatively impact Internet connectivity. 4) This may also be a hardware
problem with your modem - what is the make and model? Please post back
with necessary details if you want more help.
