It sounds like you have some kind of mild virus, I would have it checked out before it become a bigger, more expensive issue.

Instead of restarting your computer, try disabling and then re-enabling the network connection. That takes less time and may accomplish the same result: 1. Start > Settings > Control Panel 2. Double-click "Network connections" 3. Locate your network connection. If you're using a wired connection, it's probably named "Local Area Connection". If it's wireless, it will be named after your wireless adapter. 4. Right-click and choose disable. Wait until the status column shows "Disabled", then right-click and choose "Enable". It should take only a few seconds to establish a new connection.

Do you have a router? If so, restart the router instead, it can be a poorly configured router. If not the router, then are you using bit torrent? Some cable companies are dropping connections to high volume users, and also users of some peer to peer applications. They say they don't, but it has been proven they do. Still being resolved by the FCC. If not a router, and not peer to peer, then make sure your network ip is dynamically assigned.
