Lose the connection/Please help !!!

When I am downloading or playing an online game, I lose the connection. My cable company say the signal is good. My modem company ( Motorola SB4100 ) says it is checking out ok. What could be wrong? It seems to happen when I am on 10-15 mins with heavy data transfer occurring. The only way I can get it back is to re-boot the computer

Are you set up for DHCP or static IP address, please?

Basically i wrote if you had installed any tweaks
It may have some registry strings your connection isn't fond of
Restore your registry back to normal and test out your downloads, see if problem goes away
If so then you'll know where the problem lies

I have the same problem, last sunday i was doing some heavy surfing, dowloading from ftps, uploading to others, and I am a Fserver as well, i got disconnected 8 times, I call Bellsouth, they said i was getting a timeout connection, cause i had too much traffic, and the only way to get on again was to reboot, I told them I had an ftp, and I didn't like rebooting my computer. I asked for the bussiness package, he said that I have to register the phone to be bussiness and blah blah blah. Basically, i can do nothing just put up with their service.
