crazy internet

[jshkornmiller]

OK, so i am having a problem. here it is
One day i came home and i could not log on the internet, the cable modom says everything is up and its logged on my Pc. But, everytime i go to get on the net or log to a game, it says i have no service. So i format my hardrive and stat over with a new install of windows xp. Then to discover that i can only stay logged on for exactly 1 hour after the pc starts up. so now i loose connection at the same time every hour. Then i came home today. and come to find out that i cannot log onto the internet or any game server on any of my games. So i format and reinstall windows again. Now i'm here.
So, anyone have any advice on what may be happening?
