My computer is now crashing nearly every time it tries to access the Internet with some exceptions when there seems to be no problem and all runs well until next time I restart it or it comes out of hibernation and tries to connect again.
I am running Windows's XP home, using a time traveller laptop.
A couple of months ago it was running poorly, frequently freezing and occasional blue screens. I reloaded XP and now it runs much better however it still blue screens when accessing the Internet as above.
I have two 1 GB memory cards. I have removed one at a time replacing with the other but the problem still persists.
The last two, stop:0x40000080(0x89DDAAD00x89945F30,0x8054994C,0x00000001) and stop:0x40000080(0x859CEAD0,0x855502B0,0x8054994C,0x00000001)
In the event viewer I get error Dhcp 1002 and Dhcp 1007
Can any of you guys help?
Thanks.

What type of Internet connection are you using?

Try this:

click Start, in Start Search type cmd, and then press ENTER.
Type ipconfig /release, and then press ENTER.
Type ipconfig /renew, and then press ENTER.
Verify

To verify that address conflicts have been resolved:
click Start, in Start Search type cmd, and then press ENTER.
To verify a DHCP client lease, type ipconfig /all to view lease-status information.
The output of the ipconfig command should show an IPv4 or IPv6 address marked "preferred."

Thanks T magic,

What type of Internet connection are you using?
I am useing a ASDL netgear router, there are other computers connected to it but not always on.
I followed your instructions although not quite clear what you meant by:
The output of the ipconfig command should show an IPv4 or IPv6 address marked "preferred."

It is crashing still!
