Internet connected - no web, no messenger - after period

After my pc has been on for a while (2 hours minimum), seemingly randomly, I am unable to load web pages, getting an instant connection unavailable, and unable to communicate using msn messenger, however I still see my network icon is connected, and am still able to communicate via xfire messenger.

Currently I am able to solve the problem with a restart of the pc, I have tried resetting the router to no success. Other computers using the same internet access do not have the same problem - uninterrupted.

I have run anti virus scans, hijackthis, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This happened again today, so had a chance to check out a few things about it, and do some more tests

I tried pinging google.com and mozila.com, both of which succeeded.
I was chatting in ventrillo before and during this problem. while unable to browse the internet with a "request denied" message.
I wasn't kicked out of msn, and was able to view people signing in and out, and change display icons etc
I was able to chat in steam messenger, browse steam servers, but now download content.

Neither IE nor FF would display anything, not even attempting to load pages(seemingly)

I'm pretty sure all you need to do is reset your modem and/or router and restart your computer.. as the best solution. I can't think of an easier one at the moment.
