loss of connection

Thought the general board would be best for this one as it
could be anything. Hope someone can help.
I have about 5 minutes after booting up to connect to the
net. After this, no connection. Even if I do connect
immediately after re-boot, I still only get a few minutes
surfing before I'm disconnected. Running Win98se
connecting to NTL world through a set top box with a 3 com
network card. Hmmmmm
