Sometimes a router and DSL/Cable modem needs to be power cycled, though it sounds like something else is amiss. I'm assuming your Internet connection is wired, so it should persist on reboot.
I would boot from the Lighthouse CD and press F2 at the boot menu. Near the RH side, bottom one of the options is Memtest86+ diagnostic. Type memtest at the boot prompt and run it for 30 min or so. If that finds no errors, reboot with puppy pfix=fsck to check for file system errors. (For an NTFS or Fat partition, run chkdsk in Windows.) If the problems continue, boot with puppy pfix=ram back up your save file and shutdown, creating a new one.
Or maybe Lighthouse just isn't right for your hardware. Maybe try it on another machine, or another Puppy variant on the same machine.
Hope that helps,

Thank you for the fast response.
Yes,I do use a wired internet connection and also have several other Puppy's running.
I'll certainly try your suggestions asap.I don't have an explanation for it and it's been running fine for weeks without a hitch.
I installed the Marina sfs and kde4 recently and they have caused no problems either so I'm fairly certain my hardware is up for it.
