Describe your internet connection:

Is it dial-up modem to an ISP? If yes, then you may be getting intermittant interruptions on the phone lne, or static.

If it is DSL or Cable then check and see if your Network card has any type of power management enabled. You might want to disable that if it seems that these drops from the net occur with a regular period of non-use (timeout or inactivity).

Just another side note to add to Anna777's suggestions....Right click on my Computer go to properties, then Go to the Advanced Tab. Under the Advanced Tab, click on the "Startup and Recovery Button.

In this window, uncheck "Automatically Reboot" for system failures, this may not solve your problem, but at least it might give you an error, or a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) that you can better use to diagnose your problems.

1) Does your hardware meet the W2K requirements?

2) Are all service packs applied?

3) Is your modem/driver compatible with W2K?
