may be a proxy on your network cause it,or in your firewall, some settings.

This sounds like an error on the ISP's side (internet service provider). From what you wrote it appears that you connect directly into your cable modem from your computer. If you do not it is also possible that your router is causing this and may need replaced. When you are dropping your connection do you get any pop-up bubbles stating that your local area connection is disconnected and then reconnected? here is a breif list of possible causes:\n\n1. bad network cord (maybe loose and getting bumped)\n2. Bad router (if one is being used)\n3. Bad cable lines\n4. Bad cable modem\n5. Bad network card in your computer.\n6. Other/software issues.

there are mutiple possibilities, your RAM might be buggerd, or your internet modem is doing somthing to your computer, there are more ways but i cant think as i would need to see the comp myself

It could be many things. You should provide more info, such as your opperating system, your version of internet explorer, the age of your hardware, the circumstances in which it locks up and so forth.

I've experienced the same problem as you are, and in fact I did exactly what you did - virus checks, adware and spyware checks etc. I was stumped; I even meticulously went through my Internet Explorer 5.0 settings to see if there was anything there that might disrupt communication from my router. I was considering reinstalling Explorer (or better, getting Mozilla Firefox) when along comes Internet Explorer 7, which I promptly downloaded, and viola, Bob's your uncle. All problems resolved.

Does it do it all the time?\n\nIf you only had that happen for one day, it could be because of more people online at the same time as you, which causes latency. Another option could be because of some type of router you might use, or modem.\n\nAnother reason could be because the server is lagging for everyone as well or from maintenance on your ISPs servers.\n\nThere are a number of reasons but those are the most common.

When I had this problem, I found that disconnecting my internet connection and closing all of the programs in the task bar other than the DVD player stopped the lag....

Couple of possibilities, bad NIC, bad patch cable, or bad router. \n\nPacket loss most often occurs believe or not from a bad patch cable.

you have a problem with either your connection or with proxy settings.

Spyware and Malware is always the one of the first suspects in internet connection problems. Run anti spyware on the computer first.  If that does not work, you must narrow down the problem.\n\nThe repair button does a bunch of tasks that can all be done by themselves at the command line.  Next time it happens, instead of hitting repair, go to start&#92; run, type cmd and then enter.  Then type these in, in order, and check your connection after your run each command.  This will narrow down the problem.\nipconfig /renew\n-that ask the DCHP server to keep giving you an IP\narp -d\n-that flusches the Address Resolution Protocol cache\nnbstat -r\n-that reloads your Netbios name Cache\nnbstst -rr\n-that sends an update of your Netbios name\nipconfig /flushdns\n-that flushes your DNS cache\nipconfig /registerdns\n\nTry those untill you narrow down exactly which one it is that does it, and that is a really good place to start for further troubleshooting.

i would suspect your computer is acting strange....you can try to reinstall the application and see if that works but if it doesnt choose a new service such as aim or msn

you can do ping tests and give them the results...\nstart, run, type "command" on black screen type "ping www.whatever.whatever" <-- not a real url and don't use the " " marks\ndifferent pages will give you different results, in theory the further away it is the longer it will take to ping back.\n\nbut just a note, don't be too hard on the tech support people, they can't really do much to help you with this, and get yelled at all day by people upset that they aren't actually pulling pages as fast as their connection or modem claims to be.  its very frustrating for us...ah, them, sorry about that, not one anymore, but it dies hard.

I don`t know what exact cause of your issue is but I suggest to you perform these stages :\n1-Wait . Sometimes this is a ISP or Server problem.\n2-Check . Perform an online virus scan for viruses.\n3-Again. Uninstall yahoo messenger and install it again.
