A Cable Connection

I've had Cable internet for a few weeks now and during the day I'm always getting disconnected (my friend also has the same cable internet provider and lives next door and never gets disconected) does anyone have anything that could fix this? Could it be a problem with Windows XP?

I can't do anything internet related I'll have to restart my computer to get my connection back and whenever I contact my ISP they say that its just the site I'm visiting.
By default XP enables an option on powersave that will put your NIC into suspend and it may not be waking up correctly or if you are doing DHCP it may not be grabbing the address on awakening. You can go to your network cards properties and disable the allow windows to power down this device option. Hope that helps
