Losing internet connection approx. every 24 hours?

Ever since the Beta 2 a short while ago, I'm losing my internet connection
approximately every 24 hours or so. I have a cable connection connected to
the modem then connected to a wired/wireless router. Before we get into the
hardware aspect, when I use my WinXP laptop, it works even though the Vista
(both Beta 2 and Pre-RC1 releases) won't work. The *only* way to fix this is
to reboot the Vista computer. From that alone I can only guess that it's
something within Vista that's making me drop connection randomly every so
often.
Would anybody have any ideas as to why this may be happening and possibly
how to fix this problem? If XP works and Vista can't connect, there has to be
something wrong/missing/conflicting with the Vista software, right?

This issue is fixed in RC1. If you continue to have it after you get RC1
this week please file a bug report.

Already filed, but a question. Where does one find the "fixes" from Beta 2 to
RC1? More specifically, the problem in question - how it is addressed? The
wording might hold information to fixing it for me .. it's worth a shot at
the very least.
