connection lost after a couple hours

after surfing the net for a couple hours i lose (part of) my internet
connection if im using azureus or a messenger stuff like that they
stay connected and i can continue using the website that i am on at
the time it happends but i cant connect to any other website or use
any program that uses a internet connection unless i already had it
open untill i turn my router off and on sometimes i even have to
remove the power cord for a few seconds any one know how i can fix
this?

The fact that you can continue using a website but are not able to switch to
another tends to rule out the actual phone line signal levels.

What I suspect is really happening is that your ISP is experiencing problems
with their DNS servers. When you type a URL link into your browser like
http://ntcanuck.com your computer sends the request to a DNS server that
translates the URL into 207.68.173.74 (much like looking up a telephone
number in a phone book). That IP address is then used to make the actual
connection.

You might want to consider visiting the TreeWalk DNS web site and installing
their program. It adds the ability to your computer that allows it to
bypass your ISP's DNS servers and use others as needed. The program is free
for personal use. It is not uncommon for ISP's to have DNS problems due to
internal network issues or from Denial Of Service attacks by disgruntled
customers.
