I just bought a new E-Machine and I lose the radio feed after about 15 minutes.
i Seriously doubt that the E-machine is the problem, despite the feelings around this particular board. Media that runs on the E-machine will run uniformily on any machine despite it's label, and the last time i checked even a basic one can stream 128kb/s audio files from the internet.
As for the feed problem, you'll have to be more specific. Are you streaming it to your browser or streaming it to a player?
E.G. Using Google Chrome \ Internet Explorer / Firefox as opposed to using Winamp or Itunes or RockBox.
There is a chance that you are pulling it from a stream that pings constantly, and when a certain amount of pings fails the connections stops. All it should take to fix is a CTRL + R or click "file" --> "Refresh Page" or press F5 i believe.
If you are operating it from a browser window, it may be easier / better buffered through something. Try opening the link with an outside audio player. ( right click link, Open with ... )
As for a more permanent solution you could try: A hard boot of the Modem, then the router. ( unplug each for a minimal of 15 seconds, then re-plug ). Then turning your cookies to "accept all", and restarting your browser.
However:

This might be contributing to your problem.
If you are constantly opening and closing internet browser windows ( checking mail from time to time ), you may be opening and storing new cookies; and when you close them you also delete and remove those same files. Thus making you appear to log-out each time - against your will. heh
If it's not that, then your cookies are set to restricted and need to be changed in the preferences of your browser.
But it may be effecting your Radios authentication.
i Would also reccomend that you update your Adobe Flash Player, and make sure your browser is updated as well.
Though i have a feeling that some form of 'clean-up' is preformed every time that your browser is closed. Though you click "keep me logged in", it wipes the name and password upon closing the session.

P.S. sometimes the "back" arrow doesn't work.
Well, that could be nothing, or could be something.
If you are using a box with "Windows" on it, and using "Internet Explorer" then i'm afraid it could be a TON of minuscule scripting bugs, a bad java call, or perhaps a nasty virus this way comes. When it comes to microsoft "The world may never know". If it's a firefox problem you might want to check any recently installed addons or plugins. Google, no idea.
And after all that, it could just be your Internet Service Provider placing a stop request after a certain amount of traffic goes through your box. Try listening to the stream in a different quality, to fluctuate the bandwidth required.
Other than that, i'd chalk it up to Yahoo slackin!
If you still encounter issues, link me to the radio-broadcast and i will check to see if their servers are up to snuff! ^_^
