once a day my pc gets to where my browsers cannot connect to the internet BUT other internet programs still work fine like IMs and email clients.

i have searched without any luck on a solution.

What about another PC? Another OS? Unbutu LiveCD or something similar. If another OS can't access it then the problem is in your connection.
