Never had that problem before but I use cable, not DSL. Maybe you were
assigned a new IP by your ISP and your modem wasn't updating but
caching the old one? On reconnect, it would then request a new IP
address and everyhting would work again. The 45 seconds would then
probably be the treshold required for the modem to request a new IP
instead of re-using the old one. Just my 0.0175? (about 0.02$).

About the virus scanner, I use AVG - a freeware scanner. Always had
loads of trouble with Norton, it kept hoggin down more and more system
resources. Switched to AVG two years back, never had a problem. It
intercepted a virus on only two occasions cause safe computing is also
my friend.
