One advantage you have in XP is that you can check the event logs to try to get a handle on what's happening.

At the times when you cannot access the internet, are your machines able to see each other on your local network ?

I'm guessing you are on cable, so are you using the mac address cloning feature ?

I'd try taking your primary box offline. Just unplug the damn thing.

The fact that your BSD box can stay online should be enough to prove that it's not a router/ISP thing.

Interesting problem, I'm curious to know your results.

Oh, and I'd also make sure I had the most recent firmware on the router too. Just a thought
