Computer Trouble Shoot

[Broker]

Windows xp pro and firefox, all updated with updates, fragmented, files deleted, etc.

Problem:

If I watch a youtube video or any type of video a few times, then try to go to any other website like namepros from there, I cant get any website to come up. Like I lost my internet connection but have not. IE can not display this web address message.

I have to restart my computer and then all is fine until I go to youtube videos, myspace videos etc. I disabled my mcafee thinking it could be a firewall, I disabled alot of my other programs also and still cant connect.

Restarting and all is good.

Anyone have any idea what this could be?

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but considering youtube costs a LOT of B/W i'm assuming you're ISP isn't offering enough B/W. The restarting the computer probably allows your ISP to send you more B/W.

B/w?

Bandwidth = B/W

Computers = Trouble so Shoot them ...... You answered yourself in the Thread title





Sorry - I had a power supply blow this past week - So I'm not in a very "computer" mood


No idea why yours is doing that though Rob - You're saying its only doing this on IE ?
