My Internet connection drops after 15 minutes of use?

Question

We are connected via Linksys router to Cable modem. We have two Win PCs and a MAC attached to the router. The MAC does not disconnect. The PCs are running Win PRO XP

The problem started about a month or so ago.After using the Internet for 15 minutes or so the Internet connection just stops. We then have to reboot the PC and then the connection starts again.

We had the motherboard of the PC replaced but the problem continues. To us it seems that after using the Internet for some time some "pipe" is being filled up and by rebooting it clears the pipe.

We would really apprecaite it if someone, who is knowledgebale in this area could give us some suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
