    My computer just recently started to kick me off of the internet randomly. I've had it happen a few times with more and more frequency. I have an ethernet braodband router and I'm running Zone alarm. I am assuming that this is sufficient for basic security. I am also running Adware for more peace of mind. Is there a setting or something that i should check to justify why i get booted off of the internet, Usually at the most unopportune times

    So this is a current problem? I just tried to connect to the internet, when I got the famous "White page". After trying to connect a few times, I decided to Control Alt Delete to go to the task manager to see if I was receiving a signal, when the whole computer shutdown and restarted. This doesn't seem normal. I have Yahoo DSL. The computer is a Sony Vaio. I've only had for about a month, Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should be checking?

    Have you cloned a MAC address onto the router? Many ISPs (including mine... Comcast) will drop you if you are not reporting a MAC addr.
