more information needed. presume system runs ok when not connected?

are you on dial up, if so check the network protocols being used for the
connection. Should be tcp/ip only. Other protocols will cause disconnection
but not necessarily of the system. When you installed new motherboard did
you re-install your operating system or wipe all old mobo drivers?

Changing the MBD implies that the BIOS and chip set were changed. It's a
wonder that this is your only problem. An XP repair install may be the least
pain way out.

I had a similar problem earlier this year, that was caused by a virus.
Blaster, I think it was. Whenever I logged on to the internet, after a
short time, I forget how long, the computer rebooted itself. It only
happened online.
