Good afternoon all!

I have a macbook pro (core i5, 17", 8gbram) and I run Windows 7 as the primary (and only) operating system.

The problem I have is if the computer stays on for a long period of time (like overnight), I start to recieve issues with browsing web pages. This is accross all browsers on the system (chrome, firefox, ie). All browsers will load to google and search! but when I try to leave google, i recieve a :

******************
The connection was reset


The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.


The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

******************

I will continue to receive this error until the computer is re-booted. Once rebooted, the system happily continues on and no more errors. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on?

this is a company network (which I manage) and no other systems are having this problem (both mac and windows). Virus/Spyware scans all come back clean (avast/malwarebytes/superantispyware). Winsock reset does not seem to make a difference. Ip address's are assigned statically, google public DNS. disable/re-enable of nic (from within windows).

Couple of things to note:
Ping results are "replies" on domain names or ip's.
My firewall shows a lot of icmp requests coming from my system's ip address (may be un-related and my firewall admin software - barracuda fyi)

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know what additional information you would like to see here.
