lose iternet connection

I have dsl, modem is a Netopia. I have windows XP home. I have one computer
with all the latest updates. I have ran spybot, adware and registry
first-aid. I have zone alarm firewall, Norton Systemworks for viruses. The
problem is if I don't use my computer for awhile I can't connect to the
Internet anymore. I have to turn off modem and reboot in order to connect.
I've had windows XP for about 3 years and have not had to reboot for
anything that wasn't my fault. I borrowed a friends modem and the same
things happen and friend has no problems with mine. If anybody has any ideas
I would sure appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I posted this earler but have been gone on trip and wanted to start over.

I am having the same trouble. I posted the same question to the group about
three hours after you did. I had an old upgrade that I bought in 2002 XP.
When I loaded that version I had no trouble for a month and a half. I think
something is wrong with recent CD's of windows XP. I am having trouble with
the same thing and the version is an OEM version. I haven't received an
answer yet either.

There is only common thread to this problem. I am running Norton System
works 2005 and Zone Alarm Pro. One of these programs may be causing the
trouble. It is funny when I used the old update (without SP1 etc) and
updated over the internet I had no trouble. I had to format and reload the C
drive and used the OEM that came with the machine and the trouble showed up
