This is very similar to what I am facing.
Internet works, but intermittently say 30 min or an hour, it would just go
down. I am using Motorolla cable modem and vista business.

Can you check your windows event logs (system logs). Is there a log like
dhcp-client started everytime connection drops?
I notice that everytime although there is evidence of that service crashing
otherwise.
