Internet on explorer 8 and firefox 3 stop after 2 hrs.

Internet on explorer 8 and firefox 3 stop after 2 hrs. But i am still
able to use messaging programs and skype, as well as Steam. Games
play fine, but firefox just says that no connection can be made. And
IE8 says that i should contact my service provider. But my laptop and
other peoples computer works fine. I think it has something to do
with recently rebuilding my computer. Whipped everything and put
Vista Buisness 64bit. Before it used to be just 32bit. And before it
worked fine. Any ideas? Im thinking about rebuilding it again, but
might hop back to 32bit. 64 seems too quirky.

IE8 crashed repeatedly on my system, but it didn't have any effect on
FF3.

I might try IE8 again and not install any add-ons or collect favorites
from FF3 and see if it works. I only use it for streaming talk radio
anyway.
