Hey folks. First of all, I know next to nothing about networks, so I'm sorry if I make no sense at all.
I'm having a weird problem with my network. I'm using a cable modem to connect to the internet and my OS is Win XP Professional 2002 SP 2.
What happens is that when I'm downloading stuff (Doesn't seem to matter what it is, or what method I use to download it), after 15-20 minutes of downloading, I suddenly lose my network connection and nothing short of a reboot will fix it. Repairing the connection won't work. My modem stays connected to my ISP and rebooting it does nothing. The only help my ISP tech support could offer was to mess around with the duplex speed settings of my network adapter but it didn't help. I'm totally clueless.. please help. 
Please mind
