:: At random times Explorer will stop connecting to the web. Three computers
on, two lose explorer, one doesn't. I have checked the systems, can't seem to
find anything wrong. While explorer will not connect, Mozilla Firefox will
connect and go to web pages just fine on the two problem systems.

I run 2 anti virius programs and two spy ware programs and update all my
computers. The only computers I am having trouble with are my 3 PC's running
Windows XP, the two running Windows 2000 are just fine. Is there some new
bug?

Which two AntiSpyware applications?
Why do you have two AntiVirus applications?
Have you updated hardware drivers?
When was the last time you updated (patched) Windows XP?
Have you tried uninstalling this update: KB893066?
What do you mean by "I have checked the systems"?
