I use Windows XP. This problem started a few days ago. Everytime I go online, after approximately 2 hours or so, give or take, every website/page I try to access turns up with a 'Cannot find server' page, and I have to refresh at least 3 - 5 times before the proper page shows up. Either that, or more than half the images are missing and the links are all over the place. If I reboot my comp, the problem goes away, at least, for 2 hours or so. The first time it happened, I thought it was a one time thing, faulty internet connection and all. Could this be caused by a worm/virus? Please help!

All browsers work the same way and do not take long to get used to.
