I would try these steps in order to attempt to resolve the problem. a) Install a second Ethernet card and configure it to be the interface you use to connect to the Internet. b) Install the nForce binary driver from nVidia. Also make sure you *do not* have 127.0.0.1 listed as a DNS server, some ISP's block access to servers other than there own to stop improperly configured machines from becoming nuisances on there network.
