Have you downloaded all the patches / applied all the updates for XP?  My
ISP (http://powerlink.adelphia.net/) states that XP has some connectivity
problems that are fixed with the updates.

All updated have been applied.  Another thing I just noticed.  When I
do a bandwidth speedtest ( http://www.bandwidthplace.com ).  The Win2k
computer always measures at about twice the speed - seriously!

WinXP - 700-900 kilobits per second
Win2k - 1.9 megabits per second

The Win2k computer is noticeably a lot faster on everything.

What's going on?

I am in the same boat myself.  All patches applied.  I can surf to 6 or 7
sites and then all of a sudden I get DNS errors for any other sites I want
to visit.  Reboot fixes this most times until I surf another few sites.

try forcing an entry for your dns on tcp/ip properties

resolve ns1.attibi.com, they have about 5-6 with that naming convention, ie
ns2, ns3

you will get diff latency, chose the best for you, but this totally fixed
this problem for me

now if i could just get mIRC, AOL IM, yahoo im, ICQ and my FTP server all
running without killing my connection........id be really happy

right click my computer
go to manage
click on services
right click on dns client
go to properties
change automatic to manual
reboot
problem solved

I'm running XP Pro on Pipeline now and it works great since I patched it
from Speedguide. It was not all that fast until I applied the patch. I
had tweaked ME and it was cooking, but the upgrade to XP put everything
back to default and the registry is a lot different than earlier
versions of Windows.
