I am running WinXP and I have setup all the protocols that are needed to connect to Internet.
The problem is I can access Internet for some days and be disconnected some days.The massage that I get says "Can not find server or DNS error."

This sounds more like a problem with your ISP than anything on your computer. First thing I would do is call them and tell them exactly what you are using to connect to their servers (modem type, be it dial-up, cable, or DSL). This check will makesure your hardware is compatible with their hardware. It will also give you the chance to inform them of a problem they might not know about. If, by chance, you are entering your own DNS server IPs instead of letting your ISP dynamically assigningthem to you each time you dial-up, then also double check that you are putting in the right numbers.

Hope this helps.
