I have an AMD Atholon based system, it is connected to a network in the
house. The problem originally started with not being able to acces websites,
but the instant messenger still worked. This system can be seen on the
network, but you can not attach to it. User name and permissions do exsist
on both systems. Now if you try to access internet within the first 2 or 3
min. after you start the system it will work. You can go to websites, read
e-mail, etc. After that 2 or 3 min window it stops working and now the
instant messenger does not work. I have run AV software, and did find some
trojens do not remember names of trojens. I have tried another NIC receive a
message from XP that the new card has alimited or no connection. Any ideas?
 
Kinda sounds like a firewall issue. If you have XP Pro SP2, try turning off
the firewall and set what happens. Same if it is a third party firewall.
