Many thanx for the advice , this problem was driving me crazy

Hi all, I'm having some problems with my Internet connection under linux. My ISP is Pluset(uk). The problem appears when i'm surfing or using any other program that access the Internet, after download a few pages or files the connection stops. This mostly occours when the files are big or when the webpage contains a lot of images. When this happens I can not even access the modem-router setup page or ping it (the router is an Alcatel version 3881). But if I wait a few minutes or if I restart linux (logout does not work) the connection is back again. This happened to me under Mandrake 9.2,9.1 and Suse 8.9, and with different browsers or ftp clients, including Mandrake update. I checked the connection at the same time in my other computer (windows xp) and I have normal access. The computer i'm having problems with is a Toshiba laptop Tecra 8200. Could it be a problem with MTU? is there any test i can run? Thanx.
