Try Changing your modem.

Maybe a driver problem, or some pre-setting that auto-disconnects after a certain idle time. Check what settings you can and see if thats the case. Else it may be your line itself, the ISP..

WinXP has a default setting for usb modems, network cards, etc wherein the card is shutdown to save power... Check the setting in Power Management tab of the network card properties (Right click My computer, Hardware tab, Device Manager, double click on network card)... The setting that says like "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" should be unchecked...

3)any malware/spyware
