problem with internet

hi there I am having problems surfing the net I am running windows 98 second edition and ie 5 i make a connection with my isp which is bt openworld after surfing for a short period of time say 30mins this page cannot be displayed appears and cannot find server appears in the task bar. my connection to my isp is still in tact but whatever web page I type in it will not be displayed. if I disconnect then try to re-connect the connection is established but once again the page cannot be displayed. the only way I can get round this is by restarting my pc then once again I can start surfing but only for a limited time before the whole sequence starts again. can anyone please help me?
thank you for your time

My advice is go to housecalls & run the free online virus scanner.
Click here to do so!

for a free virus scanner you can add to your system... go get AVG. Click here to download AVG

and to protect yourself from hackers etc... Get Zone Alarm
Click here the free version is fine


then there is spyware ... go get Ad-Aware
Click here to download it


this should keep you in pretty good shape
