It also can be a cable modem going bad! I had a similar problem and
replaced my router SEVERAL TIMES with diferent vendor types - sill would
drop connection especially when transfering large files (well 4meg which
means I had a real problem getting microsoft service packs!). Turned out to
be the modem - when I replaced it all was just fine (got the 128meg directX
update and even a 700meg Linux live CD image).
