Browser Data Ceases?

I've got a weird problem happening on my laptop. I connect it to a 3G wifi data device for most of it's internet connectivity, and until recently it's worked fine. Now, after a certain amount of time, say 15-20 minutes, the web browser will stop working. Google Chrome, Firefox, and IE all report the same problems, cannot load webpage, check your internet connectivity, etc.

The strange thing is that I still have data connectivity. AIM still works, game clients can still connect, everything works except the browser. Any browser!

Anyone have an idea as to what could be causing this? Win7 64bit.

Sounds like your DNS keeps going down. Either that, or port 80 is being blocked. When it happens again, try to open a secure webpage (bank website, something like that). If that doesn't work, it's probably DNS. If it does work, it's the port 80 block.
