I'm not really sure what the problem is, so I was just hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Is this a possible denial of service attack?

When I try to access the internet on my computer, I keep getting the "page cannot be displayed" message. Now, on the other computer in my house, I do not have such a problem which tells me its not the connection. At times I can browse through 2 to 3 pages, but then the "page cannot be displayed" message appears if I try to keep browsing. I use a bittorrent client to download, however it is only recently that this has started to happen. It seems that I only receive about 1/4th of the packets that I send out. Nothing else is out of the ordinary, no pop-ups, no extra programs, no hijacks; my computer runs smoothly, I just cannot seem to be able to access the internet. Also, I do not currently have any virus protection/firewall otherwise I would run their diagnostics.

The problem is somewhat hard to explain, but if you have any ideas as to what it could be it would be greatly appreciated.
