Disconnecting every 10-40 minutes

I faced the same problem a while ago with an XP box. It was totaly resolved
after making a static entry of the router's MAC address in the ARP cach.
Follow the following steps to make a static entry for your default gateway.
(You should do the following step while the connection is working proberly,
otherwise, you should do the first step from another working computer"
1- Click start, type cmd and press enter
2-ping any website (may be www.yahoo.com)
3- type (arp -a) and press enter
4- locate the line with your routers "default gateway" IP address
5- Read and take a note of the Physical address
6- type (arp -s ipofdefaultgateway physical address) For example if the
Default Gateway IP is 10.0.0.1 and the physical address is
00-aa-00-62-c6-09, the the command should read like that (arp -s 10.0.0.1
00-aa-00-62-c6-09)
now test the internet connection without restarting the PC. If everything is
fine, go ahead to step 7.

7- create a new file named arp-static.bat
8- inside the file type only the previous arp command (arp -s
ipofdefaultgateway physical address)
9-place this file anywhere, then create a shortcut to this file in the
startup folder in the startmenu.
10- restart your PC and test it.
