Network Timeout Error

OK, I have an Inspiron 9200 and have never had any issues with it, until this week.  When I boot up, everything is fine and I am able to surf the internet using IE, Opera, or Firefox.  After ten minutes of being connected to my wireless router, none of my browsers will work.  I get a "Network Timeout" error message.  The weird part is I am still able to use Outlook and Yahoo Instant Messenger.  This just started happening this past week.  I have to re-boot the system in order to use my browsers.....for ten minutes.  It always gives me the error at the ten minute mark.  I am using a Linkys modem and a Netgear Router, however I have brought my system to my workplace and I have the same reults.  I have also plugged directly into the router with the same results.  I have run Spybot, Adaware, and AVG with no errors.  I have a second Dell laptop that has not been affected using the same wireless connection. 

 

Any ideas????

    Plug directly into your modem, bypassing the router and see if it still happens....that would narrow it down, could be your router is failing.

     

    Could also be a power managment issue goto the device manager and check your network adapter, there is a power setting.  Make sure it's not set to turn off.  Also check your network connections, make sure there isn't another connection that could be causing the issues.

     

    My guess is the router is causing you some issues....

    It isnt my router or modem as teh issue happens when I bring the laptop to my work and use the wireless connection here.  I will check the time out on the network adapter.

    I removed the power settings on the network adapter and still having the issue.
