Wierd net problem

[Nosferatu]

I can browsed for about ten minutes but then all port 80 traffic seems to hault completely. Other net traffic works fine. Its just this one machine on my LAN. I tried a different NIC card from the MOBO built in. No change. VIA chipset. No visible caps leaking.

Any ideas?

Ill edit this and add more info but I want to post incase it does it again.

EDIT: Im on my linux machine now since it just did it again.

Once it has happened, the only way to clear the problem is a reboot. Ive scanned for viruses. Cant find any.

MOBO is a ASRock K7VT4A PRO.

This started happening when I tried to upgrade to the latest and greatest VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers. I downgraded them but the problem still is there.

The wierd thing is all other net traffic seems fine such as email ping and even Vortex. I can ping out of the machine but when I try to ping the machine from my linux machine it times out.

You try scanning for any spyware, or other malware??
if not, use the usual tri-fecta
Microsoft Anti-Spyware
Adaware6
and
Spybot S&D

another possibility is a hard firewall, like a router, maybe its gained a certain disliking to that PCs certain IP address, there are times when I have to depower mine and bring it back up becuase it does a similar thing. (linksys)

if not, try going back to the old drivers.

It turns out that my old Mozilla had somehow gotten corrupted. I could browse forever in IE without a problem. Im now using the latest and greatest Firefox

I imagine more then 90% of the \"problems\" that come across a Tech Forum like this can be boiled down to \"user error\". It is nothing new.

There have been several posters at the AMD support forums who have double posted with simply \"nvm\"
