PC looses connection through the browser, but instant message and other clients operate normally...Problem appears on a whim, and affects ALL internet browsers, even those that are not in use...For example, midway through, Firefox will stop working, and then when you open IE, it fails to work as well...
Diagnosis..?

sounds to me like a firewall/open port issue.
Is this on that crappus Vista platform by any chance?

I was thinking along the same lines as E. Something to do with the firewall and ports.

Vista is probably flooding port 80 (one of the few to always guaranteed to be open) with DRM certificate database updates. My advice: just be patient while MS finishes updating their ability to lock all your digital content should they deem it necessary.

I get a similar problem on my Wifi laptop- internet connection lost- router is upstairs laptop downstairs- lead paint (and eathquake proof beams) in the condo interferes with my signal- lose internet, MSN and everything for a few seconds
eman prob right- its just packets-certs logjammed at a port OR Tipper Gore and the porn police sniffing around your puter
